Julia's Auction House has donated many thousands of dollars to the PGCA, as we have stated here several times previously. I don't know the current total, but I believe it is now well in excess of ten thousand dollars of direct contributions.
How many PGCA members other than PGCA life member gentleman Jim Julia have done anything similar?
Julia's has consistently offered some of the finest Parkers to serious collectors. There are few other opportunities to acquire some of these types of guns other than from the Julia Auction.
Julia's Auction House also has opened its doors in advance to PGCA representatives when special guns have been offered. Jim Julia has allowed valuable guns to be handled and closely examined without supervision. A well known and publicized example of that generosity involved the gun made for Czar Nicolas. Following is a photo of PGCA member Austin Hogan examining that gun in an off room at Julia's.
