Holts Auction

[bigduke6]

Just wonder if anyone had a punt on lot 1142 in todays auction at Holts?

B.S.A CO. .303-*** .22 L SHT LE. III - A.G. PARKER 22 PATTERN 18 PRESENTATION SERVICE TRAINING RIFLE, serial no. W8536 / 84643,

I expected in the region of £2k but sold for £ 6000, bit steep for a commercial version , I say a commercial version as I’m sure the Military trainer didn’t have AGP Bisleyworks stamped on it, going off memory they had another ejector fitted, think this was due to the weight of conveyor.

Hammer was £6000 , think holts has a 25% buyer fee, so £7500 ……

Trying get link but not working, ( I’m all fingers and thumbs at present using phone) if you google holts, should be able to find todays auction, the Rifle come under Service rifles.
