It's wonderful to see a young man have such an appreciation of craftsmanship of days gone by . Nick holt is an absolute gent and fabulous to see Holts auctioneers keeping these guns alive and maintaining an interest in them . Keep up the fabulous work and I'll see you all soon on our next visit to Holts in Norfolk.
Really impressed with Nick Holt in this video. Great on camera and so passionate. The look of joy in his eyes closing that Francotte is great, The two of you make a great pairing for this!
Greetings from across the pond. I love to see and I admire the history behind some of these guns and the artists (gunmakers) that are responsible for such beautiful masterpieces. A true delight when you do these kind of videos. I enjoy them immensely. I can spend hours just looking at these beauties and listening to how, when and where they were made. Enjoy the history lesson(s). Wish more people would appreciate what true works of art many of these shotguns really are. Thank you TGS for doing this. Cheers to all!!!
Review your Longthrone Johnny!
“You’re absolutely right boy!” You can take the man out of Norfolk but you can’t take the Norfolk out of the man, Nick Holt.!!
Great to hear you say how good TGS are for your company too. From a fellow Norfolk man, you’re absolutely right boy!
Brilliant video as always.
I could watch and listen to you and Nick as well as Simon etc talk about vintage guns all day and happily not get any work done at all!! Anyway, off to work now so I can actually afford to buy beautiful vintage guns!
That's amazing John ,my brother Gerald owned one of those (The Finian) he has been meaning to ask you for months if you had ever seen or handled one .
I collected a Lanber Expulsor that I have been looking for a long time, it was what I wanted many years ago when I first got a Lanber. 3 hours in my workshop and it is like new. A bit of 0000 wire wool and oil goes a long way. It looked like it was hardly used but neglected. Viewing ensures you do not bid on a lemon. I think my favourite win in the past was a boxed 45/70 ruger one, which I bought for our shooting club. Now we all get to use it. Great service at Holts.
I've never even fired a side by side but, those Damascus barrels 🤤
Exceptional pieces with beautiful explanation, BEAUTIFUL
That cello music complimented that lovely side by side perfectly!
The German side by side is a dream it would fit me perfectly being of a height to need a 15 1/4 stock !
That Auguste Francotte boxlock non-ejector may have been made strictly as a presentation piece. "This is what I can do."
Or perhaps it wasn't. Yes, it's beautifully made with exemplary Damascus barrels, beautiful and tasteful engraving with fine finishing touches, all to show the maker's world class skills. It's still a shotgun that can be used and enjoyed as a very fine example of the gunmaker's art.
My very first over and under 12 gauge is a plain Jane boxlock, non-ejector. It fits and I can shoot it with reasonable proficiency. It's still my favourite shotgun. When I go out for the local Ruffed Grouse, it's the gun I always choose even though over the years I have acquired a few much more 'fancy' guns. If I were to acquire that Francotte, I'd take it out for grouse in a heartbeat.
I agree with what Nick Holt said. People have been buying guns like crazy here in the U.S.. And I am talking shotguns not just handguns and rifles. Our problem is the ammo shortage is hurting shooting sports badly.
I hear that alot re ammo shortage in US. Why is that and why has it been going on so long ? Surely the manufacturers would have responded to any increased demand by now....?
@@johngregory8576 I am told it is the shortage of primers. Plus with the country going through a large increase of crime there were estimated seven to eight million new gun owners. Ammo started getting gone early 2020. Shotgun shells are $8 - $10 a box in 12 gauge if you can find any and they limit you most of the time to two boxes. 410 shells are non existent.
Interesting. Thanks for the feedback @@mikeproctor3664though in UK cheap clay loads start at $8 for a box of 25, though we have no availability issues
I would have liked to have seen the 8 guage I think it was just over your right shoulder I would love to know more about it
That Wiggan Elliott bar-in-wood is pure class.
I'm eagerly awaiting a few bargains from the sealed bid on an RFD transfer. I did go on a bit of a "cheeky low ballers" spree. Only really because I had discovered Holts via your channel.
Perazzi started in 1957!
Mr Holt is such a dude 😁 absolute gent
I went clay shooting last night for the second time with a young farmers club. I hit 16 out 25 clays. I was just wondering if you could do a video on how to get into clay shooting. If you have already done one then I will have a look.
Lloyd Pattison youtube videos... good start. Also GO SHOOTING channel best source for all clay sport instruction.
@@timeverett7828 cheers mate
Ohhh the german side by side … I der. Will make a bid on this .. this gun belong to a German like me 🤪
A show about how we in the states could purchase at Holts auction would be great.
I love the video! Such a variety of stunning and interesting guns.
I can see how the Fenian didn’t catch on!
OMG those Francotte barrels are stunning :oO though why would it be less beautiful as a side plate action?
Considering the free advertising you bring to Holts, surely that's worth a tasty little gun ? ;o)
Ok J.C. I really wanted to put you on the spot and it took a while to think up this one: For Grouse, Partridge and/or Pheasant, in the UK, would you purchase a pair of Browning B-15 or your recently reviewed E.J. Churchill Hercules? Similar construction theories Browning is Japan - to - Belgium the Churchill is Italy - to - London and discounting the fact that the Brownings are like twice the price of the Churchills. Which pair would you choose / recommend? Thanks in advance
😳 if they were the same price - brownings. But by are not so I would probably lean into the Churchill’s out of the two options
'Over a million buyers'
'Well no, closer to 2,500'
I thought those numbers didn't add up aha
Good idea!
Yet another great video Johnny. Is the stunning Damascus Frankough still for sale in the next auction? Thanks.
It will be indeed. Good luck, I know a few people who will be after it
Was that Holland and Holland not selling very in Holts auction house not going well? 15:54
I know a poem about German guns.
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom,
Boom, Boom, Boom
😂 cunning poetry that
This a very creative translation in English of an original in German that went 'Verpuffung, Verpuffung, Verpuffung, Verpuffung// (etc.)
Cool shot gun
OMG I loved this damascus shotgun
Another great video, keep doing this beautiful work.
Please do a asmr video cleaning your guns.
Hello I have a question Does the cartridge differ from one shot to another??
For sure it does
@@tgsoutdoors does that Means there are shotguns shoot better than shotguns ? Because I tested the browning A5 they are way Better than the benelli m2 , Raffaello , vinci and the beretta Extreme2 , extrem a400
Hello TGS, a very nice lot of guns.
If you can put this gun in a case and say 'this is my work,' you should have it pretty well made...
Great shotgun !
Now days, we can use these old shogun's? From SINDH ,Pakistan
The fact that art galleries don't display such fine fowling pieces at all-- much less in places of honour-- shows just how far Western culture has fallen.
Hello TGS! I hope YOU'RE well.
Can you remind me of the make etc… of the gun
Thanks 😊
Bu tüfeğin fiyatı Nedir?? Damas cos??
Some skinny stick legs thare 🤣
Hey bro can you tell me what's the correct choke tubes for a Beretta S686 special. Thanks keep the good work I enjoy your vids

❤️

Your going to have to put a wallet warning before these vids! I’d done so well ignoring the auctions! Oh well😔
