Got some more scoop this afternoon on my way back down. Report: most of the guns went for close to retail price; DuMochelle had no idea what they were doing or how to handle the guns; a rent-a-cop was in charge of describing guns over the phone Friday afternoon/evening; Feds came in and told DuMochelle that they could not sell some of the exotic mounts or the ivory. Sounds like a cluster-#@!&.
Hopefully some of the guns found good homes with Parker guys. Glad I did not waste time trying to get a "deal."
By the way, Grosse Pointe has always been serious money; old money; quiet money. I am sure there are several Parkers that would command serious lust sitting in some of those old mansions.
Not surprised about the GM Execs being hunters/shooters. Roger Smith was a big time hunter and had/has quite a collection of fine guns. For those of you familiar with the Detroit suburbs, Neville Geeke was Roger's gunsmith.
