Greg had an auction several years back...before the auction he was showing some of thestuff at the gun show Over Paid slacker and I atttended..in that auction he had a Slotter Beck Percussion rifle that was mint...ir was an 1864 Philidelphia Exposition piece..it sold for about 11k.
I knew where a John Krider Phili percussion rifle was for 7k (dealer in Houston). I JUMPED ON THE PHONE AND BOUGHT IT FOR 6500. Later this month another Krider percussion is going up for auction with an estimate of 10K to 15K...That same Slotterbeck rifle has just been auctioned again in Maine. I will have to check and see if it sold and for how much?
Also a John Krider Cased with all the goodies sold privately for 30K...
Late last year I bought a John Krider SXS shotgun, you've seen the pic, that was a bit rough for $200 at an auction. If it were cleaner 4000 to 6000 would not be outa line. The other bidders just didn't know...
