I lusted mightily after Lot 10, the 30" DHE 28 ga. with RAILBIRDS!!! engraved all over, but I was a little short (by c. $35K) and the Kelly Blue Book on my RAV 4 Toyota would have still put me shy of the balance. To soothe my angst, I went back and handled it while no one was around during the preview. Wes Dillon, my auctioneering buddy of 35 years or so, walked in on me just as I shouldered it for the 17th time and said it looked great on me!

The .410 VHE was in much better condition and had a higher level of finish; the 12 and .410 of Lot 28, not so much. But I thought the combination of the two at the hammer price was a good deal, especially if you never owned a .410 and always wanted one. Both were well used but definitely not abused.

Josh, Wes, and the G&D staff were wonderful hosts and should be congratulated on a great auction. Those who missed out on their bids, myself included, will remember this auction for months to come.

I had wanted to go Wednesday to see the A-1 the DHE 28 , the AH 10 all of Jerry Smith’s pieces , the matched pair of Brit 10’s and of all things the Francotte three barrel 12 . But other things kept me from going .

I won a gun and a beautiful watercolor while eating stuffed hushpuppies in Charleston at Fleets Landing. Generally I dislike technology, but it worked well this day.
