Estate Auction

[Relentless]

I should have made this post ahead of time, but I didn't think about it. It would have been nice to meet some gun guys. I ended up with a few of the BARs, only got one of the 1890s with the octagon barrel though, but I was happy with that. I didn't get a 60, 61 or 63 though, I was disappointed in that

 

[Perplexed]

I believe it was like the last one, but I looked at it over someone's shoulder so i'm not positive, it was an auction though, almost everything went for more than it was worth

I'd be quite surprised if it was the last (arrowhead) - they're pretty rare, so either it was (most likely) the first one (postage stamp, by far the most common IHC) or someone scored big time at that price. If the latter, I'd be sad I didn't go and snag that for myself.

Am I looking at the number series or the font style? the top and bottom look pretty similar

 

[Perplexed]

The top is full-justified (left and right margins even) from top to bottom; the bottom pic is center-justified with uneven left/right margins.

The middle picture is full-justified, but with a big gap in the middle of the first two lines (hence the name "gapper")

Ahhh, I see it now, but I honestly didn't look closely at that

It sure looked like an arrowhead to me that's what I looked up the value as after inspection Friday night. No cleaning kit though. And it was in good shape normal wear on reciver and stock was in good shape. I missed the pythons sell both the early ones (got there just in time to bid on the high standard) lot 175 and had to leave before the last round of pistols sold. So I don't know what they brought. But what I saw sell an had my girlfriend write down prices on we saw 168,853 dollars worth sell. And we missed about two and a half pages.

Then whomever bid on that arrowhead got a pretty decent deal, if it was in good shape with the usual wear. Cleaning kits are just a few bucks, so they're really not a factor. I'd love to know the S/N and parts breakdown if indeed it was an arrowhead!

I have them all added up except the first 6 or 7 when my pen stopped working and I had to find a new one, I stayed for the entire thing and walked away with 64 of the guns myself. I'll add them up tonight and post what the total was


The serial# on the garand was 4601121

where you sitting on the west side for most of it ? And then towards the end you moved to stand on the east side of the quansat ?
