I would love to be able to attend the auctions live. There is no susbstitute for examing the guns in person when trying to make a decision to purchase.
I don't know if its a trend, or I am just paying closer attention, but the Lefever group indentified at least two high grade guns that were deliberately misrepresented by auction houses this year. One being a large and formerly reputable organization. I can understand an initial misrepresentation as the expertise on the relatively rare high end Lefevers is not widespread. But even when the errors were pointed out by multiple "experts" the errors were denied and excuses made.
