Sale NotesOur fall auction will be an offering to dwarf all of the spectacular events we've conducted to date. The diversity is tremendous, the quality and rarity is incredible, and the ­opportunities extraordinary. The finest offering of high-grade sporting arms our company has ever presented and ­unquestionably the finest presented anywhere in the world in recent years. The sale also ­includes Phase 2 of the renowned Doc Murphy collection of Colts, gun for gun, based on rarity, quality and condition, the finest collection of firearms to ever come to auction. Also included is the Herbert G. Wellington coll. of Winchester rifles, Carl Metz coll. of Springfields, collections or portions of collections from 4 Society of American Arms Collectors, including Ted Knee, Peter Wainwright, Doc Murphy and the renowned Conf. Coll. of Fred Edmunds. Other Civil War includes the important Conf. Sword Coll. of the late William H. Osborn II, bowie knives, Class III, and much, much more. These are extraordinary times and this indeed is an extraordinary opportunity, there is a great wealth of high-end quality material here and given the current times, there will unquestionably be some tremendous buying opportunities. If you can only participate in one auction event this year, this most certainly should be it.
