Upcoming Auctions

[alfsauve]

A number of auctions right now, but most just so-so.  The big RIA is at the end of November, I'll post more on that when I get the catalog.

This one (this coming week) looks interesting especially for black powder buffs.  Lots of Flintlock and percussion stuff, especially mid-19th century (think Civil War and Indian wars)  Some later 18th century stuff, early cartridge.  There's some modern, 20th century stuff and even some Les Baer rifles as well as some SCHUETZEN RIFLEs BY BUCHEL.

I can guarantee you won't get any extra mags with that bid. 

$100 is about what it costs to get the printed catalog for this auction.  Fortunately it's all on line for free.   Don't let the drool get on your keyboard.

Here is a list of the upcoming auctions.   Nothing terribly exciting, except for the one in Jasper, GA.   That just a few miles up the road from me.   Maybe there's one coming near you that would be fun to attend.  Kinda like a gun show.

View at your own risk.

Very pretty.   I'm not a big fan of engraved "collectable" stuff, but that one is nice.

The pre-bid over on Proxibid is already $1,800 with almost 3 weeks till auction.  You'll need every penny donation you can collect.

There's a Kull auction in Topeka, KS this weekend that has a number of interesting items.   If you're not familar, Kull's partner is Jim Supica.  Mr Supica is head of the NRA Museum and is known as Mr S&W, being the author of the Standard Catalog of S&W.

Anyway, they have "good stuff" on their auction.  http://www.armsbid.com/

So there's so much 19th century stuff, to much to even begin to note.   And plenty of  20th century also.  

Here's about the most unique thing out there.   As most of the DRTV members know, it came to a showdown between the Savage and the Browning pistols for the winner of the 1911.   Had Savage won the shootout, "1911" would have taken on a whole new meaning.

Well, would you like to own that "other" gun?   There are TWO of them up for auction.

Saw a 1926 model sell at auction last summer for $200.
A friend of mine asked me to give him advice, he didn't want to go $250.
Bought a bunch of fake Chinese decorations instead .
When I got home I sent him the results of a Gun Broker search, he hasn't asked me to go to another one.
