Brian;

I saw that auction. A number of the guns were listed as refinished, and in the case of the Bicycle Rifle, it was not only "restored", it was cut down from a 24 inch barrel. The two Model 1881's were also cut downs. I hope no one gets stung on any of the bad guns. There were some good guns there, so, "Let the Buyer Beware!"

Hammer price on the bicycle rifle was $3000.00. OUCH.

Brian;

Still pretty high for what it was, but if it were a real "restored" Bicycle Rifle, I think it would have brought more. Just hope the person that bought it knows it is not a real Bicycle Rifle.
Do you know what the real nice Model 1888 ( round barrel .44-40 ) brought?

[Road King]

Rich, that round barrel 1888 went for $2500. I looked at the pictures and think it was worth twice that.

Brian;

Thank you for looking that up for me. It was an exceptional Model 1888. I agree with you on the price, maybe it should have brought a little more than that even.......
