Thars exactly where it sold. It was consigned with Antique and Modern Firearms here in Lexington, which was started by Charles Layson and Rees Day in the mid 1970's. They had started business as two collectors and were considered experts in Colt single actions, double shotguns and older rifles among other things. Rees competed for years in several of the Sporting Clays shoots for Classic doubles, shooting for one of the brand based teams. About 8 years ago they decided to deal in only used collectable firearms and be open to the public three days a week. This was to leave the weekends open for only shows. The last time I dropped in Rees's son had taken over operation.
They sold consignments at a modest commission and sold things quickly at a good price.
