Auction in the Motor City

[John Dallas]

Check out the auction on Friday the 13th (!) of November at Du Mouchelle's Gallery in Detroit:

A number of African stuffers and high-grade guns including some small bore Parkers. The collection is from Al Warren - a former GM VP. I bought one Warren gun a few years ago (a M42 Winchester), and condition was very good.

Not sure how much Du Mouchelle's knows about guns, judging from their auction estimates. Sure wish I could buy the guns for what their estimates are

John,There looks to be some outstanding guns there. But those prices look to be way off.

[Gregory Miller]

Be still my heart. In my dreams at those prices. :crying:

[Robin Lewis]

Prices.....:shock: look at the condition of those 20's! VHE's that look new and estimated in the $700 - $1200 range. Look at #102 for instance, I don't think its a restored gun but without accurate descriptions.........? I expect the seller is going to be pleasantly surprised.:corn:

Is anyone going to go to this; if so, please post some auction results.

[Brian Dillard]

It will be very interesting where some of these prices land in this economy. With it in MI, if the base of their bids are local, I think it will be on the low end. If however their base is internet driven, the sky is the limit. Oh, please don't bid on lot 88 or 89...thanks.:rotf:

Word to the wise - I attended an auction at this Gallery a number of years ago, and wintessed what appeared to be some very unsavory stuff. Caveat Emptor

D - Will tell you tomorow.

[Chris Travinski]

Look at the BHE lot #89, it's kind of odd how the hinge pin is lower than the boss that it's usually enclosed in.

[Dean Romig]

Or how about the twenty gauge Winchester 21 two-barrel-set :shock:
