Those of us who bid absentee have to wait till Wed to see how we fared.

I was outbid on everything.
I did watch some of the auction live on invaluable.com and wish I had bid on some of the American rifles that went cheap.

You can go to invaluable.com and register (free) and that will allow you to review the auction results. Not always absolutely reliable, but should give a good idea. If you bid as much as the low estimate on most of Michael's items, that should have been enough. The only Springfields I noticed that exceeded the low estimate by much were the Harvey Rodgers pieces. Virtually everything else failed to do much better than the low estimate, including the Whelen associated rifles, Wundhammers, Griffins, and even the .400 Whelen that Michael wrote about.

After handling each and every one of Michael Petrov's Wundhammer rifles, and reading the history of a few Alaskan guides who carried them, I had always wanted one. I bid on four of them and it looks like as least two of the Wundhammer rifles (256 & 258) will be moving back to Alaska to enjoy a few more days afield. I only wanted one to join my Minar and Sedgley and will probably let someone else adopt the other one.
The little 7x57 Lancaster #398 is also headed this way and should get some time afield as well after blacktails on Kodiak.


If any of you are interested in a great Alaskan hunting book you might look for a copy of "Alaskan Adventure" by Jay P. Williams. He was a hunting partner of Hosea Sarber and he carried a Wundhammer rifle for thirty years until he lost it in a boat fire. The various stories of bear hunts in the old Alaskan territorial days are fantastic.
