I've been looking at that collection of guns for quite a few hours now. If that auction was upcoming, I'd be at a loss to how to bid or even choose a favorite.

Interesting to me, is that there were no sidelocks.

I got the Powell (Lot 2201). It came from an American collector.

Congratulations! How do you like it?

With all the really nice guns in this collection, what made you pick the Powell?

Steve, nice gun. Brent, the Arrietta was a sidelock and the highest priced and weight. I know one isn't supposed to buy the name, but oh, my, the more expensive Dickson...the name and the gun in one. It is my understanding that less than 20 were made. Ken, I believe you are correct about the high number of 2 inchers being sold. Not everyone wants one, and with 20 to chose from? Gil

Do you know if they were all from the same collector?

There was another sidelock among the bunch. R. Halliday, presumably number one of a pair

I just took a quick tour through them and half look to be from the same maker as my Hellis, the ones with the block letter gold inlay on the rib FOR 2 INCH CASE ONLY".

Interesting, Dickson lot 2148 is proofed for 1-1/8oz. yet only weighs 5-5 with 27" barrels.

That Curry is nice though.

I have a hypothesis that the rather blocky, somewhat unattractive gold lettering, is on guns that originated with Skimin and Wood making the bare bones of the gun and then selling them off to other makers to finish.

Here's a man who lives in Asia that has an S&W depicted which bears the same warning:

I tend to agree as I believe S&W made the Hellis guns.
