Wow. Talk about a six-pack! The seller took one out of Rock Island Auction's playbook.
If all original finishes, the opening bid seems like a great price. Will watch this one. I predict that they sell, and the bidding goes up to right under $15k.
I'm not an "arty" guy, unless I could find one dated 1919 with a grip safety, crossed rifles, a totenkopf, thumb safety marked "Rust", and an extractor marked "Carregada". j/k
