Thanks.
You hear the stories of all of these superb bring backs being stored on a farm by a vet.
This was a general estate auction in a big Quaker area. Guy passed away and this the auction. Farm equipment, guns, etc.
Also for sale we’re some nice old Smiths, Colts, and a few shotguns.
Colts were in beautiful condition. This was a smaller auction house that does not do online bidding and had no buyers premium which is just a wow.
Colt Trooper Mark 3 E-nickel finish $675(worth about $2k)
colt King Cobra $1k
really nice Les Baer 1912 $1050
Norinco MAK90 like new in box $650
Armscor M1A $1100 (someone mentioned possibly mismatched barrel?) but apparently really good price.
Just goes to show, keep options open and you can come across some nice guns and collector pieces for a good price.
Overall, seems like gun auctions you either have some really good deals and a lot of stuff that goes for above retail.
