Phily Ord 1928 Receiver on eBay


Recommended Posts

Two more interesting eBay finds. Wonder how long these will last!

 

Looks like the eBay Police found both drum auctions!

Motorcar,

 

The L-drum looks original to me. The U stamps are highlighted, which makes them look different. The C-drum is an early West Hurley, so assume it will not work. The packaging is a nice feature of this auction. Agree about the receiver!

 

Seller needs to sell these on a compatible platform, like Gunbroker. Don't expect them to last to completion almost six days away.

I agree, got out Tracie's book to compare font, and front/backplate instructions. When I first looked at the one picture zoomed in, the "U" appeared stamped over the finish. My mistake, looks to be fourth generation United Specialties drum. The fifth gen winding instructions seem bolder than the one pictured in the ad.

Holy Cellblock, Batman! Sure looks ready to go to me (the "replica" receiver). Well golly, maybe he just forgot that he had finished it before it was "sitting stored". Makes for interesting reading...

Despite Californians voting to both retain AND streamline the death penalty, Governor/Emperor Newsom has decreed that the death penalty will not exist in his State during his reign.

However this milling machine merchant of death will undoubtedly be charged with a hate crime for bringing a gun into the world.

In the first sentence, it declares California to be America's largest state. In the America I live in, that would be Alaska is the largest followed by Texas then California. Alaskans even joke that they should divide themselves in half and make Texas the third largest state.

I was catching up on phone messages and I think the guy selling this receiver

called and left a message. He said he was given the receivers and doesn't know anything

about anything. I guess he called because the receiver says Phila Ord. Anyway, I left

him a message, don't know if he will call back or not....

OK - talked to the guy. A while back he was clearing out a hanger for a guy that restored

old WW2 airplanes and these were part of the clean out. He did some of his own research

and figured they were pars that could be sold and put them up on Ebay. Then he found out

that they were not OK under Ebay's term of service - not realizing that they were finished

receivers but just gun parts - and pulled the auction himself.

I filled him in on the whole thing and the receivers will be destroyed as soon as possible.
