Lot 250, a Midland Gun Company 12 bore. I will be using New Forrest Gun Room in Port Huron, MI. Mark is a friend of mine, he has a group of guns coming in next month which helps cut down on shipping costs. It was my first time bidding in an English auction... rather fun! Good thing I knew what the bank account had to say first... a few of the gun and shell cases caught my eye lol.

I ordered a book on Midland, but does anyone have a way to ballpark a mfg date based on serial number?

Congrats. Looks to be a nice catch. What is the timeline to get one back here and into your hands?

Mark imports batches of guns 3-4 times per year. I should be able to get it in the January batch, so hopefully middle to end of next month

Good job. Often I have found surprises when bidding in those auctions, some good some bad. It really helps to have someone over there that you can trust before bidding.

A few nice 20 bores went for affordable prices.
I don't have enough self control to attend auctions anymore though, smile the numbers tend to take a back seat in my brain if there's another bidder or two competing. (I have to sit on my hands!)
