I didn't mean for my last post to sound curt and apologize if it came off that way, but I would hate to see anybody pay extra bucks at auction for a pistol thought to be part of Mr. Shattuck's personal collection (if they are so inclined) when actually it was simply part of his business inventory. He told me he didn't like to see his business inventory to get below 1200 - 1300 pistols. I'm not sure if he ever had a figure he didn't want to see it get above. I'm really not sure how many pistols were in his personal collection. Never the less, those pistols are out of circulation for a while. And yes, his collection (at least what I saw of it) was quite nice. Then again, he had been at it a few years.
