I called, it includes the buyer’s premium but not the 5% sales tax. I also think with ~20 2” guns for sale at the same time, the prices were a little depressed vs. selling 2or 3 2” guns at a time. There were some nice 2” guns sold on that day.
Ken I've been looking at that collection of guns for quite a few hours now. If that auction was upcoming, I'd be at a loss to how to bid or even choose a favorite. Interesting to me, is that there were no sidelocks.

Steve, nice gun. Brent, the Arrietta was a sidelock and the highest priced and weight. I know one isn't supposed to buy the name, but oh, my, the more expensive Dickson...the name and the gun in one. It is my understanding that less than 20 were made. Ken, I believe you are correct about the high number of 2 inchers being sold. Not everyone wants one, and with 20 to chose from? Gil

There was another sidelock among the bunch. R. Halliday, presumably number one of a pair

I just took a quick tour through them and half look to be from the same maker as my Hellis, the ones with the block letter gold inlay on the rib FOR 2 INCH CASE ONLY".
Interesting, Dickson lot 2148 is proofed for 1-1/8oz. yet only weighs 5-5 with 27" barrels.
That Curry is nice though.

That Curry is nice though. I have a hypothesis that the rather blocky, somewhat unattractive gold lettering, is on guns that originated with Skimin and Wood making the bare bones of the gun and then selling them off to other makers to finish.

Here's a man who lives in Asia that has an S&W depicted which bears the same warning: https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=356006&page=1

I tend to agree as I believe S&W made the Hellis guns.
