Hi all,
With regard to the RIA auction, I tracked 11 pre-WWI - 1918 Lugers in the catalog.
Of the 11 here are the hammer prices with respect to the RIA estimate:
under: 4
within: 4
over: 1
and 2 with "Lot Sold" but no "Price Realized".
I called RIA about phenomenon where a lot sells but there is no realized price.
I was told lots listed as "Lot Sold" with no "Price Realized" meant there was a problem with the winner, the consignor, or the item.
Since one of these 2 lots was a lot I was outbid on, I am interested in finding out if the item is available to purchase.
RIA took my name etc and said they would notify the seller.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?
Richard
