Amoskeag

Big chance to pick up a Wundhammer with provenance�
Some nice S&W an Colt DAs lots single shots & cool Springfields.

A lot of the rifles and pistols at this auction were owned by the late Michael Petrov and his late gunsmith friend John Wills.

Amoskeag had a few of the rifles on display on their tables at the Tulsa Gun show. There are some absolutely stunning firearms from John Wills and Michael's collections. They had a few catalogs available at the show and I have already spent a number of hours just looking at those beautiful rifles and would love to be at the auction, but will not be able to make it. From early magnificent single shots to early custom bolts, something for all of us.

Jason and the gang at Amoskeag run a great auction co,this will be the first 2 day one.
Been going to his Auctions since 1998 just small black and white catalogs then and one small area in the Mills,man have they grown.

interesting...i too attend amoskeag auctions...

Anyone else having trouble getting on the site?

John

yes its down

Catalogs came yesterday huge one 465 pages and larger like the 100th one.

Beautiful rifles, but there is the problem with this kind of collecting focus that, in that period, so many high end American custom rifles would inevitably be 1903 Springfield actions chambered in .30-06. How many '06s would one possibly be willing to own?

Michael Petrov clearly did not find that kind of duplication a problem. I haven't finished going through the catalog, but there must be more than 6 .30-06 Wundhammers and even more Griffin & Howes. And I thought I had too many rifles!
