I have a couple of high end shotguns that have been consigned to a well known dealer that have attracted a fair bit of attention but no offers.
One is a 12 ga sxs Fabbri and the other a beautifully engraved 20 ga Ferlib SLE.
I'm getting a little restless and thinking of sending them to an auction house. Probably Rock Island, Poulin or Morphy. Not easy to choose which one but I'm asking for your comments, sharing experiences etc.
A number of years ago I had a couple of fine factory engraved Win M97's that my dealer wasn't able to sell. I sent them to James Julia and the guns fetched good prices. Moral of story is that auction houses can fetch good prices for desirable guns. But, as we know, the gun market isn't what it used to be and I may take a financial beating---I've been beat up at times by the financial markets so I've learned to take a few hits.
