A DB 12 bore underlever pinfire shotgun, by W. Barratt, Burton on Trent, c 1865, 46" overall, damascus barrels 30" engraved on the top rib “BURTON-ON-TRENT”; signed back action locks engraved with scrolls and game dogs; walnut stock with chequered fore end and wrist, steel mounts and oval WM escutcheon. GWO & C, the dark patina to metalwork (light pitting to trigger guard). Plate £200-300
There was only 1 in the sale. Its hammer price was £300. But it was not one I was interested in.

I was trying to juggle two work meetings and the auction, so ended up with just a bayonet!

Some very nice items offered there.
I thought Lot 228 was dirt cheap. An 18 shot , never seen one.
I also liked lots 273 and 252. Those prices are doubled in Australia.
Even with postage etc. would be bargains.
Since registration of pinfires and permits to purchase, customs,duty etc, I no longer add to my collection. Ron.

Yeah most of these I bought with the eye of reselling. I am going to start selling some guns on my website soon.
And then the Bertonnet marked ones (256 and 294) will display nicely with my Bertonnet cartridges!!
