This will probably sell on ebay, but Giffards in recent years have been changing hands at prices a good bit lower than the starting bid.

You would know so out of my element here.  Though I would love to have one.  Is there a following for these in this country?  The pistols have the most fascination for me. Kind of like the Brown.
