I had one of these years ago then a friend talked me out of it so I waited and waited and waited till I found this last weekend at a garage sale. It wasn't cheap but it was the nicest I've seen for a while so I had to snag it.

Everything matches including the grips and the British Nitro Proofs are a nice piece of additional history.Originally posted by Gary Cain View PostI had one of these years ago then a friend talked me out of it so I waited and waited and waited till I found this last weekend at a garage sale.

It received it's British proofs in 1963, if I am reading the letters in the crossed scepters correctly, before being sold commercially. You are extremely fortunate to find an Artillery with the matching magazine.

Gary, Just want to share in your good fortune! The red nines are very scarce..I think you could add a handsome premium just for those. Is your double mag pouch original? Maker Marked? Artillery or Navy? Brown or black?
How about another photo or two! You were really fortunate to comeaccross this..I am sure you know. Not many people go to yard sales with 1800 bucks in their pocket!

Hi Jerry,
Here's the pouch and the spare mag. Out here I have found so many things at garage sales that are good I normally carry a couple of thousand with me just in case. Also it is not uncommon for people to sell guns or high end knives as well so it is best to be prepared. I never want to be the guy who had to go to the bank to get cash only to have the item sold out from under me!
Cheers
Gary
