I looked at the gun in person at the Southern, and the auction house's description was seemed accurate and forthcoming about the condition of the gun.

The gun hammered at $39,500. When you add the buyer's premium, etc., someone paid quite a bit more than they needed to acquire this gun.

It raises questions about the best ways to sell a gun, at least in this instance.

The seller actually got less than the $38500.00 that he was wanting. Most auction houses charge at least 10% to sell your gun. At 10%(probably more) the dealer got $35550.00-three thousand less than he was asking.
