POSTAGE AND SHIPPING INFORMATION
This is a 'live online' auction - you can bid from the comfort of your own home using our free live bidding service.
Our 10th September 2020 Arms and Militaria Sale has several high quality cased pistols. Part of the gunmaker's art was in the casing, and the finest firearms were often supplied in case with all the accessories needed to load, fire, clean and maintain the weapon. These are a delight to collectors today and the case and related accessories can be just as interesting if not more so than the pistol itself.
Sold for £800
