Alderfers Auction in Hatfield Pa

[Grantham Forester]

Sorry, Mr. Murphy, I don't know the exact time it was sold by RIA, but from what Joe, the rep. e-mailed me, I believe it was in the last several auctions they have held in 2014. If it were a 90% original AHE .410 gauge made in Meriden, I would think perhaps 6 figures "hammer down" price??

There is only one AHE .410 known to have been made. There are plenty of upgrades.

The only known AHE .410, a 28" skeet gun, in field used condition, hammered for $116,000, no buyer's premium, but possibly 6% sales tax, several years ago. I have not seen it surface since. It is an absolutely original documented gun with some modification to the butt end and field use. I don't have a comment on the AHE 28 gauge although I spent a bit of time with it.
