Kent: I guess I was mistaken on the price. I was sitting just in front of the successful bidder. He was with Phil Watkins of Darlington Gun Works. I guess the auctioneer was asking for $9,500 as an advance & that's what I heard. The buyer, Phil told me, is the owner/manager of a rather large South Carolina low country plantation and he plans to use it on bob whites after DGW restores it. It is a nice honest gun, not pristine, but honest.
Best Regards, George
