I disagree with you on that point Destry but I agree with you on the rest of your post. Dean
This is the gun of the most famous American waterfowler that ever lived or will ever live. It's been written about, researched, slavered and drooled about for over 50 years. The Spiller gun was just a well worn Parker that belonged to a fairly well known writer, this is Bo-Whoop we're talking about.....
I'm interested to see what provenance the auction house produces. Needless to say, I ain't player, but it will be a fun tale to follow.
