Be very careful about buying from this auction house. I bought a gun from them back in 2019, the pictures looked great and the description was positive. When I got the gun, it was seriously off face and the barrels were heavily pitted. It would be impossible for the auction house not to have known the description was inaccurate. Since the gun was sold 'AS IS' the the online auction website said I had no recourse.
There was that whole kerfuffle years ago where the Montrose folks had a fake LC Smith 410 in an auction. It took an arm and a leg to get them to pull it. They have glitzed up their website a lot since then, but I would not buy from them other than in-person. They are probably trying to emulate the results of Rock Island and Morphy's.
They are also not in a part of Georgia where I would expect a lot of nice English doubles to land naturally. I would be cautious.
I would add that the area is relatively close to the port of Savannah. I doubt anyone would pay the cost of air freight for those guns so they could have brought a couple crates over by sea, speculatively.
