Julias

This was my first Julia auction and I was pleased. Rare, high quality items at prices much less than gun shows or internet sites. I bought the Angelo Bee and Runge Parker upgrades, bid on the 410 Foxes, sporting Mausers & Springfields but got blown away on those. I bid absentee for discipline but followed the action on proxibid.com. The realized prices including buyer premium are now posted on Julia's website.

I was out of the country and turned in a absentee bid for #3503, a nice original DHE 16 with a factory vent rib. The estimate listed was $7,500 to $12,500 (which I thought was a bit high). Anyway, I bid 10.5 K, and believed that I had a good chance, given the recent J Julia Parker auction results, but was blown away by the final bid of $18,795. Add the 18 1/2% and you have a very high price for a D grade 16...
