As is the case in most auctions, I saw some good deals and some not so good (from an incredibly biased point of view). My wife is so glad I won't bid on single trigger guns or those with beavertail forearms. She is not as happy that I like small bore guns with composite barrels and higher shooting dimensions. Apparently, based on today, I'm not the only one.

Anyone smiling after the auction? I saw the Trojan sell. A very nice gun, and one to keep for a while.

Did you get a chance to look the Trojan over? After failing to get the DHE 28 ga. it was next on my list and I ended up getting it. I went up and looked at alot of the Parkers on tuesday and the Trojan was the mintest and most original one that I saw and I had little doubt that this was the real deal. The gun that surprised me was the LC Smith 410 (Lot 2267). It brought $16800 with the 20% premium. I have one that is as good or maybe alittle better with 26 inch barrels and improved and modified chokes that I like better. I have followed these guns for years and have never seen one bring that kind of money.

I went to the range after coming up short a couple times at the auction ! Shot my newer to me 6.5x54 MS as well as the MS in 7x57 .

John, I did not see the gun in person, but it looked to be in great condition. I have one in similar condition and am glad to see you get that one. Congratulations on your purchase!

Many nice Parkers, L.C. Smiths and a great Fox FE 20ga, strong prices most within estimate. A few good buys in my opinion.

And that's the way life is suppose to be.

I was mostly following the M21s in this auction. Some great guns. The Bill Mains gun was just incredible. Sadly, it went out of my range. Great guns and really nice work by Josh on the descriptions, probably the best I’ve seen.

Thank you, Joe!!!

IMO, The AAHE was a steal at $25K.

With the premium and tax, add another ~30%

Auction site says that lot passed
