Looking for info on a Bill Chote in Buffalo, NY

[Brian Dudley]

Does anyone out there know of a Bill Chote in the Buffalo, NY area?
A local gentleman who is, used to be more previously than now, into collecting Parkers said that Bill was a big collector, but it had been some years since he had spoken to him and did not have any information for him.
I would like to get in touch with him of he is still around.

Brian ...I am in the WNY area and met Bill 25 years ago(?) at an estate sale with a couple of parkers in it.....His name has not come up in a long time but I am sorry I can't give you any more on him....Maybe the Batzold brothers know but I have not seen them in years also and don't know if they still collect.....Not much help I know but if I can help some way let me know.....Marty

Actually, John Batzold is who I was talking about in my original post. I talk to John often. He was talking about some of the guys he used to deal with often in the collecting circle.
He didn't know if Bill was still around or not.

I don't know Bill, but I do know John Batzold, one of the finest gun dealers I ever had the pleasure of meeting. He always had super guns--not many, just wonderful condition--at the Syracuse and Albany gun shows. He and his brother were always good to meet and talk guns with. O, did I mention that John sold me his Ph 8 gauge. Can't thank him enough.

John is a fantastic guy, business man and friend. I sit on the board of directors for the Empire State Arms Collectors Association with him and Allen.
