Just by way of information, a nice Neidner Style Buttplate, Checkered with a Trapdoor, new or like new, sold early Friday morning. It was a steal at $160 Buy Now, I didn't buy it because I have a vintage one from the 30's and it seemed, this one was not that old/recent mfg. On another note, I would just comment that while a lot of Mr. Petrov's items will and should bring premium prices, but one should keep in mind that a Lyman 1A WINDGAUGE cocking piece sight already professionally installed on a cocking piece rod, in near mint condition sold on ebay a few months ago for $245. On gun parts especially, Buy the part...not the owner, even Michael said this..."Buy the Gun, Not the Story." I agree the money is going to a good cause, but I seriously doubt his family will be left wanting, after they auction off his gun collection! JMHO
