    Militaria Auction

    Did anyone go to the militaria auction in Wellington and was there a good turn out?

    You obviously didn't get there @jim160

    Had one mate going both days.

    I had a few items of interest but in the end didn't even put in a postal. Could have got my mate to bid I suppose. Now need to wait patiently (Ted is usually quick) for the prices realised - then I can slash my wrists or not, as the case may be.

    It was mostly rats and mice though - cartridge cases etc. Most serious interest was in the Sykes fighting knives and the CZ 22s

    Thanks res, i suspect i missed out. i emailed my form in on thursday, and just saw they were meant to be in on wednesday. did you get any acknowledgement/receipt of your postal bid? From what I bid im sure i would have been one of the front runners for it.

    You might still be OK - no promises though ha ha. Have a mate who has been late submitting postals in the past and was OK still.
    I wouldn't be surprised to see prices realised out Sunday night. Keep an eye on his web site.

    Not getting conformation of your bid being received seems common at the NZ auctions so I wouldn't worry about that to much. Both those emails would get to Ted

    SMLE mk3 sold for $700 ish. No4s and no5s didn't sell as high.
    Stuff was higher than what I wanted to pay but I got the 444 Marlin I wanted.
