What did the Luger #290 sell for and around what time?
That's the same price I have in my notes, but lot #112 was an IBM M1 _Carbine_, right? (I was kinda sticking around hoping that would go late enough that it might become a steal...but it wasn't quite that.)
Lot #138 was mismarked as an "FN M1 Garand" in the catalog, but was actually an IHC Garand...and brought $2200.
Does anyone have the price of lot 52 the Rasheed 7.62x39?
I saw that older guy. I think bidder number 213 231 or something. If he didn't already have a johnson collection then he did by the time he left.
I didn't understand why he didn't buy the bayonets that went to his guns. Seems a little incomplete.
It was sad to see the greed of the auction house or the estate at work separating cases, holsters, magazines, bayonets, scopes etc from guns just to make more money. That can really hurt the value of collectible guns when they don't have all their original parts together. I mean really. I don't have one handgun stored that does not at least have one mag in the gun. I do store the rifles with no mags to save on space but handguns.

Very unlikely, and if he was I doubt he would fess up to the purchase.Just out of curiosity, is the guy that bought the used Glock 17 for $850 on here?
Thought the auction was badly organized with the random way items were brought up for bid after taking the time to make a catalog. Too large for one ring, should have had two. Really strange the number of bidders that won items then did not show numbers, you see that once or twice in a long time. Something fishy about the way it was going on and the auction house not doing anything, even when the bogus bidders were pointed out by the crowd. I left with the feeling the auctioneer was nervous about the whole show and just wanted to get past it.
