The Sunday Auction - 7th October 2012




 

So you want guns?

The Sunday Auction will take place at Roxley Hall in Norwich this weekend and we have our usual mix of antiques, collectables and valuables including a good selection of antique firearms and related items.

All of the antique firearms we are selling have been checked by experts who have confirmed that they are genuine antiques.  This means that we are able to sell them legally 'off ticket' - ie a firearms certificate is not required to buy, sell, or own one of these guns. 

Posted here are five examples of what we have on offer

LOT 300 - English single barrell percussion 10-bore shotgun by J. Purdey c.1830 with platinum safety plug and line to breech, octagonal to round twist barrell, half-stocked with iron mounts

LOT 286 - Double-barrelled 12-bore sporting gun, 29" Damascus barrells, vented platinum safety plugs to breech, best border and scroll engraving, signed Thomas Jackson of Edward Street (London) amidst game birds, c.1830, with original ramrod, iron mounts retaining some original colour and in original brass-bound mahogany case lined with green felt and maker's label
