Met a guy at the 100 year anniversary class in OH that brought his 1911 that was built by Vickers. If I remember correctly…Vickers had installed frame rails on it as part of the build to tighten of the slide to frame fit.
It was sold for just under $5000, my guess was pretty close.
What is more interesting was Ken's Winchester model 94, built in 1962 and unfired was sold for $7500 ! I didn't know a 60 year old lever gun would bring that amount.
Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
I'm surprised it didn't do better. I would guess Larry could get $5k a gun if he was building them today.
I think the series 80 scared off some people. But at that time it was very hard to find a series 70.

I regret not getting one of his guns when I had the chance, but then, that level of money for me then was in the stratosphere.
There are many left, he hasn't gotten to the real good stuff yet.

Sam, did you end up winning this auction?
ETC (SW/AW), USN (1998-2008)
CVN-65, USS Enterprise
Oh no sir. There is no way I could imagine affording $5000 for a pistol, even if it is a rare item like that.

It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
