Kramer auctions sold a 73 yesterday that had many features. The gun had a few issues, not a lot of condition, missing lever latch, the pistol grip cap replaced and the name engraved on the left sideplate removed. It did have a J.ULRICH signature on it. I didn’t think it would bring $32k and if you add the juice for onsite bidder your at 37k. I figured it would of been a $20k gun.

You don’t see one like that everyday. What do you think it would have brought if the rifle was correct in the same condition?

Your right you don’t see that combination like that and its probably a one of a kind. Most of the faults can be easily fixed except the engraving on the side plate which is a major downgrade in my book. I figured it would be worth maybe 25-28k if it was right.
