Great review Matt - you do this better than anyone else, covering a lot of guns in a concise but factual and informative manner. Your occasional flashes of school boy humour make it an entertaining watch too. 👍

Some lovely s/s shown.

Great Video Matt, I always like these auction walkarounds. The pair of AYAs in the main room are probably AYA Model 53 guns. They have side clips which is typical. They do not look as beefy as the Model 56, which had strengthened actions.

11:13 350 Pounds! $425,00! You couldn't touch that gun in the United States for less than $1600 dollars or so! Great Video! Also, you couldn't touch that Grade VI for that price either! It is ashamed that it cost so much to have them shipped to the United States!

A Muli-Shot 410! You guys can't have anything!

I reckon the pair of AYA's are Model 53's

Hey Matt, I checked the Harper Field website, but no Browning Ultra XS Pros were listed. If a "lovely" (I hope I'm using that correctly) 32" barrel version, complete with all the items from the factory (eight choke tubes, stock and barrel weights, extra triggers, stock wrench, recoil pads, spacers, case, etc.), popped up, what would be your best estimate of a starting bid? European Browning Ultra XS Pros are pretty scarce in the States. Browning wants us to buy 825s instead. Thanks for all you do.

I just do not know how you store all that knowledge, one day I feel you will stumble on a gun you don't know anything about 🤣🤣I also feel I will not live long enough to see it !!!!!!!

....and unlike Scottish dealers you never said lead only guns are worthless. Seem to be a majority on sale here?

I am starting to see a Supply and Demand Problem! Great Guns are Going Cheaply in the United Kingdom today, and it's started here in the United States! Younger people believe that new is better, when it's not! Or no one has any money! Also, with land usage problems and other more esoteric reasons, gun ownership is under attack all over the world!
