If you can change that estimate to Zimbabwean dollars I'll be in with a chance

That is definitely some 'heavy artillery'. Very impressive grouping.

Superb grouping.

[Adrian Stevenson]

It sold yesterday for £16,500 hammer price. Very pleased with the result.

An impressive group both in terms of condition and content as well as the provenance. The price was just a tad too rich for my blood so I had to pass on it unfortunately
I really hope it remains in UK!

It is staying here in the UK. I have loved having it on my desk this past few months.

Cheers, Ade.
