Something for everyone

Words aren't enough to describe this upcoming auction, except to say there is something for everyone here no matter what you shoot. Some very interesting single shots, double rifles, machine guns, historic semi-automatics, Pennsylvania rifles and percussion Colts are just some of the items for auction here:-  (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

Towels to drool into are not an option here.

It would take  a  bath towel for all that drool.   I would love to see the museum pieces in person.  Kinda makes me sad to see such a collection  broken up.  Must be hard times.

Probably a mortality and reality issue.  You can't take it with you.

One class III photo sure looks like Charlton Heston's collection.   I like the Sharps also.

The best part about this Auction is you are allowed to handle the fire arms. Hold apiece of history, and if you want, bring your camera and have your picture taken with your dream gun in hand. Drool rags are a must.

Do they issue white gloves, so your sweaty hands don't ruin the finishes ???
No joke; I know of one auction house that does.

Yes, they do.  [At least they did when I was there last, a couple of years ago.]

White gloves are on the tables, and the guns are wiped down with an oil rage several time a day.
