How these figures are made

Where the data comes from

Every figure on this site is a hammer price published by a UK auction house after a sale. Nothing is estimated, modelled or inferred from an advert. We currently hold 127 lots from 2 sales, of which 108 sold.

How a figure is calculated

For each model we take the median of every sold price on record — the middle value, not the average. One exceptional gun would drag an average upwards and misrepresent what an ordinary example is worth; a median resists that.

Each page states how many sales sit behind its figure, and labels itself accordingly: good confidence at eight or more sales, indicative only at three to seven, and too few sales to average below that. A single result is shown as a single result, never dressed up as a market value.

Hammer price is not the price you pay

Auction figures are hammer prices. Add the buyer's premium and VAT and expect to pay 20–30% more. A dealer's retail price is higher still — commonly close to double the auction figure — and that difference buys you a warranty, a gun someone has checked, and somewhere to go if it is wrong.

What these figures are not

They are indicative market estimates compiled from public information. They are not formal, probate or insurance valuations, and they are not an offer to buy or sell anything. If you need a valuation that will stand up for insurance or probate, instruct a qualified firearms valuer.

The complete dataset is published as a CSV file, with the lot number and sale for every row, so any figure here can be traced back to the auctioneer's own published result.
