    I hit the Mother Load this weekend!

    We went down to the bay Area for a friends wedding and on the way home we stopped at an estate sale. I spotted these right away and was pissed that I had only a couple of hundred bucks on me. I left my card and told them what I would pay cash if they didn't sell. They called me today and i zipped right down there!

    Whew!

    There was a bunch of militaria too, and some long guns which aren't too special.

                    A fair price. I firmly believe in treating people fairly. That way they allways tell their friends to come to me. I get pretty much everything in Northern nevada that comes up.

                          That's what I'd call "instant collection", indeed!

                            Good stuff, Gary - thanks for sharing with us.

                            BTW: Did you get any background on the estate and/or history of the guns? Was the deceased a collector, military veteran, etc.?

                            Also, I'm happy to hear that these historic firearms now reside in NV; the SF Bay area (and CA in general) is not a very gun-friendly venue; I'm actually a bit surprised the family had not taken these down to the local P.D. to abandon them for "safe disposal". Anyway, we know these items are in good hands now.

                              Eight to rate

                              Nice octet of pistols and revolvers. Some of those forty fives have some nice parkerizing left on their steel frames. Nice little Coup d' etat. Congrats on picking them all up.
