Not in my opinion Craig. In the English guns, only exceptional guns of best makers made the low estimate. The Rough Rider Colt would have been above the mid 20s a few years ago, and only brought 10K. It was in fine condition also. Winchester's own 8 bore test gun, a fine W&C Scott with Jones under lever, failed to sell, only barely hitting $5k. When was the last time you saw a Deluxe, Special Order 1894 sell for $2500? A 80-90% 1895 for under 1000 dollars? Pathetic.
I think the Second Chance list is going to be extensive.
