Amoskeag needs to improve their customer relations prior to the auction. I asked for additional measurement details on two lots 3 weeks before the auction----no response!!
The major decoy auction house has waved the internet bidding fees due to Covid and they guarantee their descriptions 100%. I believe the gun action houses have plenty of room for improvement now that on-site sales are becoming a thing of the past.
I did like the GH and DH 20ga damascus guns and felt they were nice bargains.

I agree with Craig regarding their customer relations. Most auction houses provide catalogs to previously successful bidders, but not Amoskeag.

Generally their descriptions are thorough, though occasionally wrong in critical details. A member bid on and won the 20ga. VHE that was listed as a 2 frame, but added additional pictures much later that clearly showed it was an 0 frame.

Craig, what did the DH damascus gun hammer for?

What lot are you talking about? I have Lot 47 listed as a VHE 20ga. with a 0 frame and beavertail forearm. It sold for $4112.50(included premium)Thought that was a decent deal. Maybe there is another lot VHE 20 that I missed-I was really only focused on the 28 ga.(Lot 20)

It was not 47, it was listed as a 20ga TWO frame VHE.
