A friend and I went to the gunshow in Sioux Falls today. It was my first time and it was a most interesting show. Lots of older rifles. A lot of nice lever guns and a pretty fair number of single shots. Some excellent Remingtons, both rollers and Hepburns. Quite a number of nice Sharps, including at least 3 Borchardts. Not many Ballards, one Montana, which was neat to see, a #10 with a replaced barrel and the price asked was over $6K. And a couple #2 which were priced reasonable but I wasn't in the market. And have never seen so many dealers with large displays of sights, every kind and some very nice tang and windage fronts.
But the pictures below are of 2 of Frank Wessons rifles, and #1 which was serial number 2 and a #2 that was really special. And wow the asking for it was $41K. The dealer had some other really nice guns for sure. He let me take the pics so I hope you like.

Joe the #1 was priced $20.5K the #2 was $41K. Thanks for viewing the post.

I did not talk to a Dan Woods. The table was Tony Maddox. There was a another collector with him that I do not recall his name.

rockislands last action had a left handed # 2 I did not watch but it sold for $5,500 total. Kinda puts it in prospective.

I see that gun. I also see that it had some condition issues which may have effected its desirability, "A long gash is present on top of the frame. The bolster is cracked." & "Mechanically functions fine, but lever is slightly loose."
I only am the messenger here and sharing pics of rifles not often seen, for the viewers pleasure. Whether the pictured guns have the value asked is a private matter between owner and buyer. The buyer with money in hand, ultimately, always established true value
