The campgates with the gate/portcullis are quite rare. I was bidding on this one but couldn't get myself to bid more as the condition was a bit low for me. But nevertheless, they don't come up for sale often. I've seen (in the limited number of auctions I watch) about 4 in the last 2.5 years.

Yes, the obverse is a bit rough, but given the rarity; I took a gamble and bought it anyway.

Glad to hear it went to a good home
