	Anyone here buy the Schoyen Remington Walker from the Auction this week end? I thought that went real reasonable. Sure was a nice looking rifle.

	I was shocked at the sold price. If I remember correctly the same rifle sold for 31K ten or fiteen years ago.

	8500 Thinking back I think it was back about 1999? I was rolling money over and got this wild hair to buy a Walker. Couldn't afford the one I wanted so spent the money on real estate. The Schoyen sold at auction not long after my purchase and that would have been about, about......

	Joe I do remember when I think it was that same rifle was sold. But I had actually and only based on my own memory. I thought it actually it went for more 34,000.00 but I could also be wrong?

	It was auctioned also in 2014. Not sure what it went for and don't have a clue how to research it on the internet.

	This might have been it Joe? The last time it sold in 2018 but prior to that and if memory serves me right it sold for allot more. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	No that's not it. The one that just sold at RIA is a Schoyen barreled Walker with a patch box.

	Thank you Joe I just don't remember it. Do you happen to remember who's original collection that it came from?

	The actual final price of the Schoyen-barreled Walker-Hepburn was $9775, which I assume includes the "buyer's penalty". As for its provenance, here's what the catalog stated: This rifle was previously noted as having been sold by Norm Flayderman and as having been speculated to have been owned by noted marksman Dr. Walter G. Hudson (1870-1920) when it was sold as part of the Warren Greatbatch Collection. "Doc Hudson" set records shooting a Remington Walker with a Schoyen barrel. Provenance: The Milan J. Turk Collection. As is typical of RIA, in my experience, the above is stated without support. But in this case, the Greatbatch collection was sold by Amoskeag Auctions in March, 2014, Auction No. 100. Therein were four Walker-Hepburns: Lot 52 (W3), Lot 110 (W4), Lot 145 (W1), and Lot 246 (so-called "Medicus" sporting rifle; serial no. 9904). All four were consigned by Greatbatch. The Schoyen-barreled Walker being discussed here was not in that auction. Bill Lawrence

	Anyone see the very early Ballard #7 A-1 at South Bay auctions in New York sell this weekend? Estimated at $5k-$7k, but closed at $21k!! Without buyer's premium! Wonder if the buyer is an ASSRA member? (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	I was bidding on the South Bay no. 7 but lost out. Its serial number was 10 digits lower than the one that sold at RIA sunday, which they claimed was the lowest serial number known according to John Dutcher. The Hepburns went very reasonable at RIA. I thought I had the Match B for $3250 when a gentleman seated on front of me woke up and outbid me at the last second. It was a beautiful rifle.

	And #3367 Ballard Schuetzen Jr. which I recall sold for $15k ish 20 years ago went for $4,600. And a lousy slant breech Sharps Rolland for $46k I am at a loss.

I have a #7 Long Range in .44-100 with 3 digit serial number barely into the 700 range.
