With the issues of lead shot ban, ageing of the double gun shooters, the high value of the US dollar there are numerous values at gun shops in the UK now. Here is one for a pair of best quality BLE with 2 3/4 inch chambers and 28 inch barrels that you can buy for US$7,500.00 and be able to get them shipped here for =/- US1,000.00 (about the amount of money that the oak and leather case alone is worth for these wonderful appearing guns).

Further to this value is another extraordinary one: A 1905 Boss SLE made by John Robertson himself with his final upgraded patent trigger with 30 inch Boss made barrels of 1990 that have perfect bores and min wall thickness of .031" and .032"; with a 15" plus LOP stock. The barrels of this beauty are worth more than the entire gun price and the wood for the restocking would cost today maybe US$5,000.00 for the stock blank alone.

Searching through the gun dealers of quality in the UK their websites are just full of these values----- just as Diggory writes about.
