Scotarms Auction 22/6/11 prices realised
All prices include the buyers premium.
1) L59 (serial D0772) Missing bolt and magazine. Sold as a section 1 (live) firearm, I informed the auctioneer about the L59 status (following various posts from Peter Laidler) but as it came into the auction as a section 1 it had to go out as a section 1. If it had been a "non-firearm" I'd have bought it. Price £81.25
