I too looked at that gun and know how difficult it is with the small amount of information they supply. I bid on a Fox with two sets of barrels and it went for double the estimated value.

I think you can pretty much disregard their estimates. All the ones I looked at seemed way low. Not sure what their strategy is with low estimates.

I tried following live the first day of the auction to see how the hammer bids compared to the estimates and was surprised that quite a few were below the low estimates. It was my first time there so I tested the waters with one bid, I could have done a bunch but but was afraid of winning more than I can handle. I'll be a little more serious about it next time.

I looked that 20 over in person, and it was very(!) nice. Congratulations and good shooting.

"...double ivory....F/F..The front bead must be a replacement, as it is much whiter than the mid bead. Is there a way to tone down the color ?
If the bead is truly ivory or bone, it can be toned down with a strong tea. You may need to treat it several times, but, eventually it will yellow. |
