I bid twice the high estimate on one gun and lost by a thousand pounds, next item I bid 2500 pounds and it went for 3000. Both guns were desirable but needed more than a little tidying up as they say. So either I have good taste, debatable, or interesting stuff still brings bidders out. Pity I would have loved to own that skeleton action. Got beat out for a 16 a few years ago when it went from a high estimation of 3,000 to 20,000 pounds. I dropped out at 14,000.
I thought the estimate range on the MacNaughton was a bit on the low side. Apparently so did those bidding on it.
