By the way, another supposed Annie Oakley gun or two are coming up in the Julia auction. One of these, lettered to Frank Butler, with an Annie Oakley engraving pattern, should sell for more than the one sold out West a while ago. That "Out West" gun sold in the $140s, but was not Annie's gun, but Frank's, according to the stock dimensions. Oh well, the details are quickly forgotten when the provenance of a selling price are added to the gun's history. Watch the Julia auction. By the way, I don't remember, if I ever knew, how much the Grade 3 hammer gun went for. Does anyone know? As I recall, it was pretty heavily provenanced.
