[Hammer Gun]

I bid on several lots, all went over their estimate, The AHE 16ga hammered at 22,500 I bowed out at 18,000, the wildest one was a Winchester trapper gun estimate 4-9,000 hammered at almost 70,000, go figure

There was a BH 10 there either of you happen to know what it hammered at ?

Craig, It went for $7,000 or $7,500 (I wrote it down but don't have my record handy). It was nice, but it did have something amiss internally and cocked every time it was opened. Still, a nice gun that went well over the estimate.

Gary, the 16 you mentioned was a nice one, and I remember the Winchester you mentioned -- knowing almost nothing about Winchesters, I just assumed some two people had a collector's itch for it. There were several other guns that rocketed up beyond their estimated value, but I seldom know why. The estimates for some of the small gauge Foxes seemed way off to me (too low), and I was proven right in most cases.

There was a two gun lot of Dickson trigger plate, round action guns that were estimated a $12-18K. Elaine said I could buy them if they were within that range. She knows...RI did not. I don't own them.
