I sure like My c.c. 1894 ser#3599 a lot better at $35,000.00, after looking at R.I.A.’s lot #12 sold for $110,000.00 plus the juice. My God that would be about $240,000.00 Cdn. by time I got it home. And the gold inlay engraved ’94, lot 19 at $475,000.00, plus, kinda boggles My mind.

I saw that one Henry. $980,000 Canadian landed in Canada. My wife wouldn’t be impressed with that purchase!

RIA has found a group of collectors with deep pockets that likes nice stuff and movie stars.
Chuck Connors 92 carbine and 94 carbine over shot the estimate of 15-25k, did it sell for 450K hammer price? Maybe I got it wrong?
Clint Eastwood’s Three Remington pistols from “Pale Rider” hammered at 60k, 60k, and 65k. Estimates 15-25k, 15-25k, 9.5-15k.
Get ready to see more movie guns, these prices even surprised RIA. You still have to add 20 some % to hammer price. WOW T/R

I watched some of the auction today including the first half hour where it took them a long time to get to the first lot, due to all the fluff. It’s more like a Hollywood production than an auction house. There’s also wining and dining that is atypical of other auction houses—it’s an experience.
I wanted Lot 24, the antique Winchester 1886 carbine in .38-56 with a blued frame because it didn’t ship until 1905, and it went for an okay price, but for more than I was willing to spend on it (hammer price was $15,000).

I wasn’t able to make it to the auction. I had a pot that needed stirring but so far it looks like I should have taken Kevin up on his gracious offer. The movie guns would have been nice to see. Yes, RIA is a first-rate experience with food, drinks, a bar and above all, unbelievable eye candy. Next time Kevin Hogan extends an offer to WACA members I hope more folks will take him up on it. TGCA members were also invited. At a recent auction TGCA set up a recruiting table and picked up a few members.
