Did anyone score a win today at Gavin Gardiner's sale? I went 0-1 and was just outbid on one item, as seems to be the norm these days. That's OK as I absentee bid all that I was willing to pay. Still, it is interesting to note that the "hammer price" listed on Invaluable or on Gavin's site does not include the buyer's premium. I always forget that when assessing success or failure on a bid. I was impressed by the quality of the guns offered in this sale and the reasonable starting prices, especially for boxlocks. I wish I were in the market for one.

I won a nice hammergun that I plan on using for clays. Steel barrels, sideclips and Greener style top fastener. 7 lbs 15 oz. with flat rib. I wanted steel barrels. My club is not damascus friendly.

Congrats. There was a beautiful Edwinson Green ST 10 bore in original condition. I would have bid on it but for the ST and the short stock made for a Maharaja.

YOU KNOW
all this would be more FUN if you posted auction lot numbers

Not one Model 21? Hmmph!! I'll pass.

Anyone bid on 116,?

Edwinson Green was Lot 224. Stunning example and reasonable price for condition...assuming that ST works!

Picked up a case for my Churchill, unfortunately the 16 Boss SLE I craved went above my limit.
