It was auctioned at a somewhat obscure auction house as compared to the largest houses we hear so much more about. One of our highly esteemed and respected members was savvy enough to be high bidder on this one. And I wish him a hearty congratulations!
As Brian says, the DuBray gun will auction in October. It is a 3-barrel set, not all 30 inch barrels and all fitted at the Meriden manufactory.
