Anyone attend the Redding Auction today?

[Craig Larter]

Wondering what lot A the Lefever F sold for.

[Mills Morrison]

I missed that one and probably a good thing, but tell us more

[Bill Murphy]

It was the best F Grade Lefever I have ever seen. It was absolutely original and untouched, near mint. However, I didn't bid because I thought it was a lost cause. I was so wrong and it sold for just over two grand. I may be wrong about the price, but I don't think so. I bought the #45 VH 12 gauge that turned out to be a real clean VHE 28" gun with loads of faded color. Again, an untouched gun with open chokes that I hope turn out to be original. It sold cheap because of the incorrect description. I was there to look, not to buy, so I missed the home run Lefever.

Thanks Bill I was the successful bidder on the Lefever, the auction called me this morning to let me know. $2500 and no buyers fees. :) Craig Larter

Congratulations, Craig. Just had a call from a friend. I asked him what was the home run at the auction. He hesitated a bit and said, "Was it the Lefever?"

Here's one picture from the auction company. Circa 1891
Guess it didn't take long to make my first 2022 purchase LOL!

Nice one Craig.

[Jeff Stegmeier]

Beautiful gun Craig. Will it be a duck gun or is that a silly question? Can't wait to see it with Nellie.
