Rookhawk Thanks for your help on my Hellis 12 bore
@Altitude sickness tell the group about what you bought. It's a real dandy!

Can you share a little more about the “bad era” for a newby. Also also what a fair value for the California hooker might be…asking for a 416-less friend.
Sorry I forgot about your comment. Listen to @rookhawk. Personally I would look at something else. There are better options. I think anyone who buys that rifle will be overpaying and the resale would be nearly impossible and if you did you would definitely lose money on itCan you share a little more about the “bad era” for a newby.

There are a few guns to watch in that auction but probably not the ones most are paying attention toI have been watching all of these since I am fairly local. I got a feeling this auction has attracted alot of people.
Congratulations on your purchase @Altitude sickness , looking forward to seeing more detailed pictures of this sxs.Rookhawk walked me through selecting a nice English SxS.
He pointed me to a 1927 Hellis& Son sidelock in 12 gauge. He suggested having the seller sending it straight to Fine Firearms restoration, Dan Morgan in Vermont to properly evaluate the gun.
It got a clean bill of health and now Dan is adding a recoil pad to get it to my LOP.
It should be complete any day.
Unfortunately this is the only pic I have.
Thanks for the help Rookhawk.
