Shattuck Lugers

From what I understand Mr. Wood's assessment is accurate. Unfortunately nobody in the Shattuck family seemed to share Ralph's passion to the point of wanting to keep the business. I expressed to Ralph my concern that there wasn't anybody "In the pipeline" on several occasions. Ralph told me that for the most part it (his collection/inventory/gun room) was viewed as "Clutter". He was not smiling when he said that. At his wake I do recall those who were to handle Ralph's personal collection saying they were hoping to find someone who could write "One big check".
