Interesting, I opened up the bid so they wouldn’t sell it out the back door but it’s still cheap so far.
I dont shoot very well with barrels that short but I would have tried at less than 6k.
Can’t decide if it’s flying under the radar or engraving and short barrels aren’t very enticing?
Guys bidding so far don’t look like you guys only a couple purchases under their belts.
HEADS UP!

Current bid is $15,000 plus.

Barnett had a Diamond Regent 16 gauge about 7 years ago with an asking price of $16,500 but it's barrels were 26" sk/sk. Only 10 serial numbers apart so made very close together in time.

This may be heresy but I have decided I don't like the look of the Diamond Regent guns. Don't like the gold inlays. Makes it easier to watch them go by! Hahaha!

I agree, have seen much more handsome engraving on lesser grades. Though it is highest grade of the bunch.

Sold at $15,075

Turns out I know the guy who came second in the auction. He was at my place for the weekend last week.

I would like to have a chance at that gun. I would hope that the buyer would change his mind.

Best of the Best, being the Pinnacle of Perfektion. 2nd Series having Belts & Braces with Witten tube steel by Johann Gottgetreu Werner of Suhl( he waled it out of bar stock):

with the tubeset knitter being Robert Schlegelmilch.

I do wonder what the significance of the Duck surmounted by a Crown, both in Gold(on the floorplate)??

Raimey, It is a regency crown and probably just stands for the model name!?

Waihei, Wolfgang

I've got to admit, for me, that gun is a little over the top and the stock looks to have been around the block. The thing that inerested me was that the seller has thousands of ratings yet only has around a dozen current listings. Outside of a nice .500 Smith and Wesson and a maybe desireable Marlin lever gun, all his listings are for $100 .22 rifles and single shotguns and a few $200 pump guns etc. Seems odd. I look at GB twice a day and watch about anything interesting and have never seen the seller.
