Elmer Keith
 

His B grade for sale on Julies auction Very Very Cool!!!

I was in las Vegas a few weeks back and they had all of his guns on display for the auction. I was able to hold his Keith #5. He has been my favorite author since I was a young boy. Very exciting.

is the family selling his guns or a private collector?

I grew up reading his stories , pretty colorful guy, I had an old friend who was from Salmon Idaho and knew Elmer, always said he was a good guy but could always make a good story better when he wrote.:rotf::rotf:

I was told the family. Most were on loan and display at Cabela's in Boise Idaho.

I grew up on his stories also. I had a signed copy of his book that was unfortunately eventually stolen.

The Family has consigned the collection to our auction. We have a nice selection of Parkers in the auction- and Elmer Keith's collection is incredible. I hope to see a few of our members in Maine at the auction on the 15th and 16th!

It would be neat to own such a great piece of gunning history but way out of my price league.

Josh, have the catalogs been mailed out yet?

The flyers mailed out last week, Greg. The full catalogs will go later this week. Catalog 1 with the antiques likely tomorrow and catalog 2 with the sporting guns likely by Thursday or Friday of this week.

With the Parker Pages on the way it should be a great week for gun mail!

Thanks Josh...my gun-buying habits from Julia used to cause my wife to raise her eyebrow/ But then I started to receive the non-gun Julia catalogs which in turn caused my wife to start receiving large shipments from them as well. So now she doesn't ask me what I'm buying, I don't ask what she's buying!
