Those are a highly desirable collectible when in the condition illustrated. I bought one back in the day, and when I saw what they were going for on GunBroker I decided that mine was worth too much to shoot, so I put it up for auction and netted $2000 for it with the original box! I was glad it went to somebody who knew and appreciated what it was.
I used the proceeds to check off a "bucket list" item, to buy and have restored a real British rook rifle. I found an Army & Navy Cooperative Society rook, which had originally been a .255 with thoroughly pitted bore. John Taylor relined and rechambered it to .32 S&W Long. I then had Lucas Geiger redo the wood and metal and refurb the vintage scope...
Attached is the obligatory eye candy. Groups at 50 yards with RCBS 120 Cadet heeled bullet and 2 grains of Bullseye. Bullets cast 1:30 and lightly pressed into leade upon chambering.
As they say, "no pics? then it never happened "
