Although there may have been problems with the other guns they were not all deemed undesirable by everyone as a friend and fellow member bought four Smiths excluding the De Luxe but including the No 5 for $3800. He has a lot of room for whatever repairs are needed and keeping the gun at a competitve value. After all the smoke clears from this bidding sale I hope that RAS believes they had a sucessful auction because we need a mid-Atlantic "Julia's replacement" auction house of high grade guns at reasonable prices.
