The fall gun-auction season is here. It kicks off on Friday with Rock Island Auctions and runs through the weekend with Redding’s Auction Service having a nice sale on Sunday.
-9/9, 9/10 & 9/11 @ Rock Island Auctions, Rock Island, IL
There are lots of good guns here, including almost 50 double barrel shotguns. This very early 16g H&H Royal caught my eye, as did this massive 8 gauge Westley Richards side by side shotgun. There are also other nice guns like Brownings Over & Unders and this A.H. Fox and this Winchester Model 21.
To see all the doubles in this sale, go here and run a search for doubles.
-9/11 Heritage Auctions/Greg Martin Auctions, Dallas, TX
These guys have 162 shotguns, including Parkers and some English stuff like these Purdeys and these doubles by Boss.
