    The rifle was in a lot of 5 rifles. I have the catalog to hand and will list the other rifles tomorrow (too tired right now). What got me was the fact that the rifles went for, I think, $4250. This was way over the estimated value ($700 to $1100), and I have not checked to see if any of the other rifles were especially rare and/or valuable.

    Estimated values are written to encourage bidder interest.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    True, Surpmil, and I only mentioned the estimated value in passing to fill in some details.
