Actually, I believe Bill's only daughter Camilla (Nick may be her husband) owns and runs the business. I still speak with Bill on occasion, he set the standard for fair and honest gun dealing. I had two face to face transactions with Bill some years ago: (1) He sold a Hammer 12 bore Purdey with extra set of fitted barrels and case for me-at that time- 12% for high end consigment guns. He already had two buyers "in the wings"when I delivered it to him at the store in Findlay, adjacent to the Court House Bldg. in the downtown square. One week later I had a certified check- Bill sent my daughters to State College with that-Thank you Bill.
Several years later I "traded" a much altered Parker SBT for cash and a M12 Trap- there were many "gun sharks" there at Vandalia, but I went with Bill due to his reputation for honesty.
Whoever today is in charge of the operation, if I were going to consign a valuable gun to a known dealer, Jaqua would be my first and only choice. RWTF
