Its an auction house in Kansas. I bought somethng from them before, and it worked out OK.

On Saturday I talked to the auctioneer about the gun, he had no other Absentees on the gun and everything about the gun that he described seemed to fit.

So I put 6K on the gun, I feel that makes me competative, and if it goes for more...OHHH WELL I tried..

Also on Saturday I was able to pick up an English Sporting Rifle with Whitworth Rifling made by Issach Hollis of London circa 1862. It went quiet a bit cheaper than I thought it would go for, 4K out the door...value on the gun is about 6K. Also when I get the gun I will have to check the Bore Diameter..if it is anything other than 451 it is rare.

I have maintained that at these secondary or Local auction houses the High End guns go reasonably cheap, the everyday type of collectables tend to go high...buyers tend to go ouu ouuu and get carried away...when at one of the First tier auction house the stuff just passes through.

Whereas the High End stuff they go ouuu I don't think I can THAT much money, especially on something they are not familiar with.
