Stan; you mentioned seeing George at the 2007 Charlton Hall auction on Gervais Street in Columbia, SC. I remember seeing George there as well as Raimey, Diggory and some others at this auction. That was the period of time when vintage guns were bringing significant prices and Charlton Hall wanted to get in on the "rush to buy them". Unfortunately the very next year we had a world wide economic fall.
Kindest Regards;

I bought my 16 bore 1866 Joseph Lang non-rebounding hammer gun (rebarreled in Damascus by James Woodward) at that 2007 auction, a gun that Diggory brought over. Several years later I was outbid for a Holland & Holland Royal and a Purdey at a Charlton Hall Auction, probably to my significant financial benefit. After that I haven't seen many guns at the Charlton Hall auction that were of interest to me.
It has been several years since I've seen George and I knew he was in poor health.
