Yes a phone bidder so that add`s 17% . the top 2 bidder`s were phone bidder`s . From what I was told the bidder`s thinned out at around 100k and by the time it got to 140k it was down 2 phone bidder`s . I went and looked at it for one of the bidder`s and it was the real deal. I looked at 4 gun`s and one of them was the1940 CSR it was browned out bad on the front strap with some small pitting on the front strap (none that you could see in the photo`s ) and had way more browning on the slide than the pic`s shown . The minty 1918 JMG that was the next lot after the 40 had a black Army slide on it did not even come close to matching the frame . The frame was a nice dark blue correct finish but man oh man the slide was black Army all the way(sure looked like they matched in the photo`s ) I know if I ever go after anything at that or any other auction house I will go look first !!
