The 170413 note was obviously Austin's absolute final bid. By the way, Mr. Buckingham was much better known in the sporting press of his day as a pointing dog judge than a waterfowler. Even in his published works that we devour for the waterfowling stories, the bird hunting stories are just as entertaining. If you think his duck hunting books are expensive, try to buy his "National Field Trial Champions".

I Think it's 50K which was the starting bid.

Cheapest I find is $55 and the most expensive is $115 but none are in "fine" condition.
Is that the 1955 Stackpole edition Bill? |

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......
