Hi guys, I'd like to offer you something.
There is a local auction just down the road. For you Muzzle Loaders there might be something of interest for you. I attach below a few guns that I have looked at and appear to be sound. I make notes under each. I will be VERY happy for anyone that wouldm like me to go and bid for them as my friend.

First. A Woodward.





This appeared to be genuine and in it's case. Bores look good.
Price you can see on page. More pictures I've taken for you below.

Lot 123 - Beckwith PICTURE BOTTOM RIGHT OF FIRST IMAGE
This is really pretty and in v good condition.

Purdey Single Barrel. Quite nice. Slight gap on drum but I think OK. Quite pretty and probably quite rarish. LOT 125 PICTURE





It will be my pleasure to represent any one of you. I don't want anything other than someone happy. You'll have to pay for shipping but I will have Francis Lovels

Wow-those are nice.

Wish I had the $.

Thanks for sharing.

Anything listed likely to go for less than a thousand pounds? My interest in muzzle loaders is limited, but always willing to expand into a new area of interest. Jon

Impossible to say I'm afraid.

The purdey 16 bore single is just to my tastes.....I would LOVE to restore that gun to it's former glory.

Tony, what did the Woodward & Co hammer at? Buyer's premium?

In the end I didnt go because no-one wanted anything.T
