A nice bit of history, but not something I'd spend that amount on. I can think of far better ways to invest £11k in terms of boomsticks.

All true DW58 albeit it is still cheaper than a DSR-1!

I must confess I've spent more than a few spare minutes over the last couple of weeks on Highwoods website looking at that, maybe I do need to start buying scratchcards/lottery tickets...

Well the ladies have Fifty Shades of Grey the movie this weekend so we need to entertain ourselves somehow...

When did the price of these rifles become so disproportionate? For £11,000 I want case hardening, engraving and inlay at least.

I suppose it takes all sorts -

DL, guess this is a rare collectable first and a gun second.

Yep, but if I had it, I would spend the money on a DSR....

Can't say I would on an L42!

[DW58]

To be honest, the L42A1 isn't even in great condition other than being fully kitted out - £11k is daylight robbery!
