On 10 and 11 April we went to Maine to the James D. Julia "Extraordinary Firearms" Auction. At the auction they were auctioning off everything from a single action Colt revolver that had been forensically proven to have been at Little Big Horn with The 7th Cavalry and Custer - to a WWII German MG-42 complete with tripod. There were some amazing firearms there. Ranging from the 1500's to today; historic to one of a kind. We all had a great time. In case you are interested the Colt revolver sold for $400,000.
