1902 Fat Barrel At RIA
 

Does anyone know the price that the 1906 Fat Barrel American Eagle went for at the Rock Island Auction? Please tell me weather the price is before or after the premiums were added. I tried looking it up but I don't know how to bring up pdf files on my computer.

Norm,

To bring up a .pdf file, you need a software program called Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can down load it from Adobe.com free.

Thanks guys. Right now I am badly frustrated and feeling a great deal of compassion for Tom and his inability to post pictures on the forum. I can generally horse sense my way around a computer until someone throws something like a pdf file at me. The system on my computer is too old to take some of the newer programs available. Its time to upgrade my computer, but I have too many other fires going at the moment. Besides having to go in for a prostrate operation this week, I also lost out on two nice Lugers this weekend. I came close but didn't get the toy doll. :mad:

Doug Smith bought that 'Fat Barrel' at the RIA sale and he now has it on his table for $14,995. The gun is BEAUTIFUL. So I was curious what he paid for it at the auction. :confused:

The 'Fat Barrel' fetched $11,500 including the commission.

Cheers,

Norm, you will be in my prayers as you meet with your surgeon... We will be anxious to hear from you when you are recovered.

...and YES it IS time for you to upgrade your computer... now if we could just convince Tom Heller to do the same thing :D

John,
if my future posts are in capital letters, you will know that the doctor screwed up my prostrate operation and I am talking in a much higher voice. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" />

Oh! Okay Norm... I would have just thought it was that OLD COMPUTER KEYBOARD sticking in upper case :D

Best of luck, Norm. You will be in my thoughts...oh, by the way, I now have a P code with 2 matching mags...

Thank you John and Tom. As the day draws closer to Thursday (the day of my operation), the normal fear of an operation seems to dominate most of my thoughts.
Tom, my P-code has a side inscription.
