Wouldn’t think even the “Vixen” version is worth that much- mind you, think Protek had a vixen up for £600+ little while back!

But don’t forget the ‘standard’ HW35e from them is £485, which, yes, is still a fair chunk of cash. This particular anniversary edition seems like it may be the most appealing of the recent HW specials, as it at least shares a few things with the ethos of the original, and looks quite good. Thank God it’s not a laminate.
 
Expensive but what isn’t these days , for a limited edition in walnut it’s not that bad really . :)
 
Isn’t that the 75th Anniversary model ? And I agree that it’s a bit eye watering !
Last time I looked on R&C’s website they had the actual HW35 Export at £475’ish which looks a bargain in comparison !
 
Latest news via my gunsmith is that Hull Cartridge were over-subscribed for the new special edition 35. They should start landing in shops this and next week.

Yes, I got that email too and was staggered at the price! The HW35 is a great rifle and to be fair this is a special edition but it’s still a lot on money. I’m not convinced that these special editions are worth the money, people struggle to sell them quite often on here as even a reduced price!
 
they do make me laugh, i've never known a 35 with anything but a Rekord trigger, breech lock, auto safety all standard stuff,
nothing special there. And in 1979 i think i paid about £70 for my first one.

I think that's it - I think the Rekord trigger replaced the original version after the first couple of years production in the '50's, they added a safety catch in the mid '70's and switched from leather to synthetic seals & washers in the late '70's.
Other than that, its just minor Stock style changes.
Meanwhile;- other manufacturer's introduced and withdrew half a dozen different models !
