I have a nice VH 12 (30" two triggers, straight/splinter) that I bought at auction as a pheasant gun. After purchase, our good research chair provided information that the gun was DuBray ordered and sent to the West Coast.
Would I have paid more for it knowing this information? The way I am at auctions, I don't think I could have paid any more for it.
