Recent acquisitions

[Mills]

I saw somewhere that more guns were sold in March 2018 than any other month on record. I acquired two: a 10 gauge EH in great condition and an early GH 12 gauge in rougher condition, but on a 2 frame with 32 inch barrels.

The EH is really in great shape for its age and has unique engraving. 32 inch barrels on a 3 frame. Massive gun.

The GH is actually in better shape than it appears in the photos. Stock fit to the frame is not great, but it is tight. Fore end is loose and needs attention. Bores have been honed, but still should be fine with RST's.

Who else participated in the rally and what found its way to your safe?

Mills,

Love the EH with the fishtail. Does the GH have a donor stock maybe from a dying GH? That would explain the fit.

[Mills]

Thanks Jerry. A donor stock might be the answer. It looks worse than it is, thankfully.

Nothing for me in March, Mills, but I did sell an Ithaca 20 and a DHE 12 in March. Which helped me acquire a nice little Parker that I am picking up this weekend! Nice acquisitions Mills!

I picked up a DH 16 with a straight/splinter stock and original 26 inch barrels in March. It should arrive tomorrow. I also purchased a nice grade 4 L C Smith with one of the most nicely figured pieces of walnut I've ever seen (and with what appears to be a factory skeleton steel buttplate). I actually purchased the Smith this past weekend, so maybe that doesn't count(?)

I managed one acquisition in March. A 1918 DHE with 36" barrels. Matter of fact I hope to give it a work out on the trap field tonight, the maiden voyage.
I managed to get through the Tulsa show intact but Vegas was hard on the gun fund. And then there's Sanford waiting in the wings.

[Rick Riddell]

Nothing too special, a BSA Ejector made for the RAF and a little Remington 28ga express for the kid. No Parkers unfortunately!

[C.O.B.]

Gary I've been looking for a 16 like that DH congrats. NO purchases for me BUT the Southern is right around the corner and that always yields a gun or two.

Hey, Rich,

I'm headed to NC for the first time. I'll only be there for one day, but I'm going to check out the exhibitors guns. Hope to see you there...and that we both find a prize or two.

I will be there Saturday only myself. I expect all the good deals to be gone by Saturday!
