One of the best Sell rifles
« on: September 12, 2011, 09:05:00 PM »
Check out Julia's auction for Oct. One of the very best Kentuckies is on the block. IF you have an extra 65-95K!

Is that the one also marked A. Ernst? It would appear that Sell and Ernst collaborated on some rifles, if this is the same one. Doubt that the bidding will end at 95K. This is one of the top guns around. Wasn't it one of Joe Kindig's?

Nope, but that one is there too!
The Sell is marked Fridrick Sell,, and the other one Marked A Ernst on the barrel and FS on the lock.

Better break out some of your spare money! :o

There's a bunch of nice rifle for sale in this auction! And not all requiring a personal mint...

While I'm fantasizing about this, I like the Ernst rifle better, just saying.   :)

Frank, I completely agree with you. The Ernst may be one of the top 25 rifles that exist. It is a screamer and one that George Shumway used as book jacket art on some of his books. Wish I were rich! This one may beat out the John Small when the gavel falls.

That Samuel Baum rifle keeps talking to me :-\! What a great group of longrifles coming up on the block. Thank you Al for bringing them to our attention.

Thanks John.  I enjoyed the view.  But the name's Sapergia, not Rockerfeller!
