It has a lot of interesting guns and side notes with them and if you have a gun that is in there its priceless. I have inventory #274.

Well mine too. Although I’m contemplating mine might be number 1 momentarily!
I thoroughly enjoy my copy, well used and marked up with notes. Its somewhat a shame in my mind that not all the pieces are still in one collection.
Sincerely,

Who can prove it isn’t? Printing “extra” un-numbered copies of “limited ed” books & prints is common practice in the publishing industry. Publishers sold them (discretely) to dealers.

Bob, is this book worth buying? I bid on one last year but didn’t get it. I don’t remember the hammer price?

Yes it is. Real interesting stuff they have in it. I have come across guns with the metal inventory tags on them that match to the book. The one for $100 sold this morning which was a no brainer price. There are the two at $250 and $300 left. If I sell the gun the book would go with it so I bought extra copies to keep. Here is my gun with the tag.
