Well.... I bid on it but was not successful so no congratulations are in order for me. I wanted that gun bad.
The same bidder also beat me out on the Remington 1894 EEO and 1894 CE doubles. The CE sold for way less than I was going to go on it because the auction cycled thru to the hammer before my bids registered. That CE was either a special ordered gun or was possibly a DE grade.
I lost the Remington Whitmore also due to the auction moving faster than my internet connection. It also went for less than I was trying to bid. If they'd slow down just a bit there would be more money in their pockets! On some lots there would be pauses while the auctioneer talked up the product, but on others it was bam, bam, bam, over!
I did win one double though, a Midland (London & Birmingham) 12ga. The gun I wanted least.
Oh well. I congratulate the bidder on his wins and fine taste in guns!
