I was also there at the auction and would have liked to have seen the original cracked and re-paired Bo Whoop stock on the gun instead of the shiny new stock. It was pretty rabid bidding for a minute or two. I thought it was going to close after about 30 seconds of bidding at 85,000 but they kept uping the bid just before the hammer fell. They really pushed the bidding through very quickly. Austin, did you happen to pick up and examine the 8 bore? That was really a handfull! I would love to shoot it. Once anyway. There were some other really nice Fox's and Parkers there. My favorite of the Parkers had to be 1182 the 30 inch 20 guage. The 32 inch 20 was also a fovorite. Wish I could find a long barreled 20 I could afford! It was a great day getting to handle all those fine guns......

Dean, I don't know about the editions. I don't own any of them. A friend bought one for about five bucks in a used book store across the street from the gun store where I worked for a while. He came into the store one morning and waved it at me. It was a copy owned by a charter member of the National Capital Field Trial Club, a dog club that held trials at my gun club. In the book was a hand written note to the BOD of my club discussing "What we should do with the Ostaus paintings?". I don't know, it could have been "What should we do with the Osthaus prints?". I remember the framed Osthaus pictures in the attic of the club when I was a preteenager. Whatever, my friend reads this forum and will probably post about the book and about the "Osthaus note". When the Osthaus pictures were no longer in our attic, I never thought to ask what happened to them. They were probably trashed by the cleaning crew. Even as a twelve year old, I knew they were something to be treasured.
