So. Calif. Gun Auction...

Pete,

I live in S. California and I've been going to Little John's auctions for about 10 years. He gets a lot of nice stuff, but like many auctions they sometimes go for way more than they're worth. A couple to years ago he sold the prototype to the Colt 1911 .45 that John Browning showed Colt. It was prototype number 3 and I got to hold it. I thought that was pretty neat. They had it valued at between 30K and 50K. It went for 210K. Whenever he has a good auction I stop by and get a catalog. IÃ¢??ve only bought about 10 guns from him, including 5 Lugers.

Little JohnÃ¢??s is about 20 minutes from John Wayne airport if your ever in the area.
