If you looked at Holt's site before the auction the Sidelocks they had were not up to quality. Meaning some were rode hard and put up wet.
Most dealers that are listing guns are doing so on consignment so they have nothing to loose except for advertisment cost.
The possible next true test may be the Southern Side by Side event. We will see what is selling and how much is sold there.
I still stand by my statement, the vintage craze is over.
So then is English guns prices.
The good note is there may be deals coming out of all this.
Did anyone see how the Smiths, Parkers and Foxes and Winchesters did?
