Well good news , I was the high bidder and got the 1918 artillery outfit for 3,600 plus 12% comission !! got to watch that . don't notice it much when you buy a $400 dollar gun but you sure do when the article is in the thousands .

Anyway its all done now and will probably arrive at my local dealers in a week or so. Then I will really get to see whats its like ! but will be a while and a mile of paper before I can take it home !

will post some more detailed pics when it gets here .

There was also a completely original 1915 shoulderboard and holster as well that they thought would go for 300 to 500 . This was another item . I spoke to the auctioneer beforehand , and in the end , put in a bid of 900 on it . But someone wanted it more than me and it went for 950 . seems like sometimes the accutrements go for more than the guns themselves !
