So. Calif. Gun Auction...

A decent looking gun auction coming up in the So. Calif. area :

http://www.littlejohnsauctionservice.com/auctions.html

A couple of lugers "hidden" in the many pages of Galleries...one nice early 1900 model...

Seems like the November 9-10, 2003 auctin date is a major firearms auction. This might be a good "educational" experience to go and look over many guns on their preview day...it is marked on my calendar...

Hard to see what those rifles are unless you click on each one!

Pistols show up better, looks like a great 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.

Hello Tracy,

Thanks for the update on the Little John outfit.

I do have a monthly client-trip to Irvine, CA and will time one of those visits with the auction schedule...
