Yeah, we Sterlingworth guys were giving it a good run. I lost out at the last minute. I hear that our friend Dave N. dropped out at 165.

My only guesstimate was that it would not bring the "Czars Gun" money so I win that bet....
 Congratulations to whomever triumphed.

Had the gun been a bit more "right" I think it could have easily beaten out the Czar's Gun by a long way. There were too many questions and I think that held down the money.

Julia's pre auction catalog estimate was $100,000 to $200,000, so the gavel price was close to the maximum estimate. Both the Czar Parker and the Buckingham Fox were disclosed to have replaced stocks.

This is the most famous shotgun in America, the fame of the Czar's Parker wasn't a pimple on the back end of Bo-Whoop. The Czar's Gun was never owned or touched by the Czar, Bo-Whoop is a gun that was shot and used by the most beloved American sporting writer that ever lived. I'd say the difference is pretty vast.
I doubt it was the ugly restock that turned off the potential bidders. It was that weird basement done stamping on the tubes, questions of ownership, authenticity, and provenance.

I always suspected that my AHE Trap has a replaced stock. Now I'm going to try to get documentation for the "Replaced Stock".
