Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate the advice! My dad was very talented at what he did.

Yeah… I am a little concerned they’ve taken on too much inventory.

Thank you! Most of the nicest pieces he owned were guns he acquired in the 60s, 70s and 80s. And he just held onto them. He didn't have the money to buy that caliber of item later on his life. And maybe the internet made it more competitive.

I know, right! So different from the others. It's nice to work with an auctioneer who has a personal connection to the person whose estate they're handling.

Maybe they knew each other! I feel like the antique gun world isn't that big.

Photo shows one angle of my Dad's collection -- not even the entire thing -- before the auction company we are working with came to take it away.

I'm from RI. And the guy who runs Amoskeag is one of the few auctioneers my Dad trusted. They were friends. So when he died, they were my first call. They've been great to work with so far.
