Mercy me.  All those Pigeon Grades and each and every one a factory genuine specimen in its own right. 

Perish the unworthy thought……..

Sounds like the life’s work of a discriminating collector. Doesn’t quite seem fair to have them all available to the highest bidder at one auction. The collectors who had to invest considerable shoe leather in their collections are leaving us and their prizes are going to collectors sitting at home staring at a screen.

Nearly all of these were made up guns. Lots of refinishing, re-proofed, re-rolled, etc. I was not impressed in the least.

The 16 gauge “Standard Trap”, the “Trap” and the first Black Diamond look legit (the three barrel set looks refinished)
