I have purchased plenty of guns from Southam's, no different than any other gun auction in the UK.

The rules have changed some regarding what is an antique for export purposes coming out of the UK. The firearm now must be made before1890 to be considered an antique for export from the UK, not a big deal. I have my exporter get a SIEL(export permit) for any 1890 or newer guns.


Firearms imports, consignments
