Well it looks like I missed lot #1379. And OGCA too!

Anyone else find results for that gun?

I would hate to pay 38K for NO 598. First off, the exterior condition is terrible. I have a feeling it looks worse in-person than what the few auction pictures showed. The butt stock is probably not original and if so, heavily sanded. Same with like the grip. The fore grip has been sanded and is cracked. This Colt went through Numrich Arms so no telling what the internals look like. I do like the IRA provenance, but condition and originality are usually key to value. NO 598 is at best a shooter grade Colt with serious wood issues but with nice provenance and a fairly low serial number.

Bad shape? there was a  used{gangster bootlegger gun}Out of Louisiana  1921ac at Knob Creek back around 1995 no finish anyplace all original with decent wood. was offered at $3 g. had to run over after i told Denny i would buy it. he panicked first hour of gun show since he sold it to me. and as i went back to table to get more cash to pay him and take it off the table and lock it up. i got back to table in 20 mins, and it was off table in hardcase under it. i said what's going on.OH i changed my mind you wanted it too quick.

I was a lil ticked and walked away but  later that day i bought #5050 after Kent Lomont looked at it and was thinking about it. paid the guy the $5g 

and done. whomever today has #5050 knows its special like 99% plus special.598 in pics did not look bad.you should have seen one of my Kansas city guns back when, or some of my debartolen coal guns, {or whatever that place was.}

The water cooled belt fed guns did not do well at all, some real bargains I think.
All the UZI SMG's went high, except for the ERMCO, which I was close on.

I very much enjoy my water cooled guns but they take up a lot of room and are much more complicated than the average shooter is willing to deal with.

So not really sure i think these come from the Pittsburgh area an older gentleman had this plus tons more He passed and left everything to the daughter. Someone helped her go through everything. as she knew nothing. I am glad to see she got good money. So just think this will proubly happen to every one of us.

one of us.

Had aircooled 30's and 50's and of course M-60's 34's and 42's.AND THE GOOD OLE WILD BUNCH MODEL. HOWEVER CORRECT THEY TOOK UP 2 ENTIRE ROOMS TO LAY OUT WITH TRIPODSpost-504-0-71140400-1536535966_thumb.jpg AND SUCH, AND AMMO BOXES.AND THE FIFTY was a 3 man crew gun to take out and shoot and the dreaded clean it back at home.Would go to my buddies warehouse for one entire day to clean them all. it was not a yearly deal anymore. like every 3 years. until who cares sell them.I DON'T EVEN HAVE REPLICAS OF ANY OF THAT STUFF LAYING AROUND ANYMORE.

the large one now a SCAR 17S  and a FAL Para. sling it and good to go. SOME WILL keep that tonnage till the last days. and let family haul it out. and sell it.and when some say family will keep it. Yeah until they find out i can get that much?  the last few sales i did this year and last year well over a 100 guns. They wanted to clean out. make offer.I DID AND MOVED THEM WITHIN A WEEK OR SO.

I don't even want to deal with that anymore too much work,packing, shipping, contacts. BEST with one gal and a lighter gun to enjoy.

They always bring the big time big player gun guys around. They never buy anything, Just talk and look and say nice items. most never buy anyhow even at all the great prices.Last SAR show late sat i actually gave some stuff to guys. and a few years before that left early gave my extra table to a nice Asian lady. And said fill it up. And the guys across from me who i knew for years gave them a tub of goodies. and said go at it. they said hey you have stuff in here. I told them you can deal with it and have it. and enjoy the tub.

After 50 years of it ya look around and say did it who cares. Move it on.AND YES nice launchers but only 37mm, THE 40'S under the vest someplace.post-504-0-60116000-1580841929_thumb.jpgAnother at the cannon. And she was nice to talk to. very   Pleasant Its not all about the guns at these shows you have to give some attention to the lookers. And they do respond.
