a lot of repros about 

Yeah definitely. Mines a repro but a nice heavy oldish one so will do for now. I know where there is a really old original one so will pick that up eventually. £70 he wants for it

You're entitled to your opinion....personally they are the best ive ever seen so if you can show me better,keep the price to yourself and charge me what you like....make yourself a few quid ?

went for 40 quid plus 20% plus vat

I'd pay that but if I'd bought online there would be buyers fee and postage, and they really have your pants down with postage.

be 56 plus postage then they charge a packing fee could end up at around  eighty  quid  if you ever see owt you fancy i`d pick it up and post it on for you .. 

Much appreciated

I had a spell of buying at online auctions but found I was up against so many people, then add in all the extra costs and I was paying top dollar for things rather than the auction bargains I used to enjoy bidding on in the flesh.

Im not entirely sure what " taste " has to do with it mate.....they are not designs directed at peoples " tastes " they are modelled on very well known dogs,and in my opinion very accurate

Here’s one for the Sword lovers a 1859 Sword Bayonet with WD ^ stamped on it amongst other markings I believe it’s an Enfield I managed to fix it onto a world war 2 .303 it felt like an immense weapon I haven’t touched it cleaning wise because I know I will be erasing history, when I hold it in my hand I get a strange feeling it feels just right hard to explain unless you hold it, it’s probably just me but I love it…
