Default Fort Paull Auction

Looks like they are clearing Fort Paull in Hull - some interesting lots ranging from cannons and full sized aircraft to complete uniforms (seemingly genuine and also repro) along with manikins and display cases.

Link Here

All with seemingly very low starting prices - although I note that the Victorian Officers Uniform with Show case (image attached) is already at £440 - the "WWII Battle Tunic of the RAC" has fared less well is a bargain at £1.

Anyway - some interesting browsing.....

If you are in interested in the Napoleonic fort itself - it looks like its coming to auction in the autumn for around the £500k mark

I dont think they will be selling any weapons of any calibre any time soon, certainly not in the UK.

None are current EU spec.

They are breaking the law by offering them for sale.

Quite a bit of interesting stuff there - but some serious neglect in evidence on most of it!
