One del Greco-Roman BHE went for 4800 all in, and reproductions were pretty reasonable, but overall the prices were really strong. Seemed like a huge demand for old stuff and much European. Things like muskets, pepperboxes, derringers, flintlock were very often tripling the high estimate, before premium.
Knives tanked, for what it's worth.

I was planning on bidding on the BHE Delgrego had redone but forgot about it . I see the BHE went for 4K plus the extras .
