Great stuff, and Keith is great reading. His early American Rifleman pieces are especially good.

I'm always struck by the quality of descriptions and photography of the good American auction houses v. the UK ones. With the UK houses, you're lucky to get a photo of 25% of one side of the rifle with a description that tells you very little about condition, particularly of the bore - all in exchange for 25% v 17% commissions. The American houses are so thorough in their descriptions that any question you might have after reading them would have to be very obscure indeed....and you'll get a prompt answer even when you ask those questions.
