I'd like to state that you just can't go walking around in that place willy-nilly. There are a couple rifles in the on line only auctions coming up that I was interested in bidding on that I wanted to see the bore condition. I called over and made an appointment to view these rifles. You are escorted at all times when you are in that place and are escorted to the place where they have set out what you're interested in looking at. Your escort waits patiently while you put the ol eye-ball on what you came to see. When you are done you are escorted back out, no stopping along the way to gawk at anything else. I'm lucky because I live so close and have the chance to have a look at stuff I'm interested before I bid on it, otherwise I wouldn't bother to place a bid. The Dickert lying on the table was just a fluke chance that it was there. There is so much in that place it is mind boggling.
It's like a trip to the world greatest museum for every auction. I'll be going to the premier auction viewing to take a look at that Dickert, although it will probably be in a display case and I won't be asking to handle it as I don't have the $ to play in that league.
Lots of great antique muzzleloading stuff coming up.
