David,
I assume you have thought of this already. I have no idea of what kind of rigamarole or hoops you would have to jump through, but if you could get access to and permission to use photos from the 2012 and 2013 Julia auctions, there is a wealth of info there. Likewise for Rock Island Auction (Dodge guns?) and probably others.

Julia supplied me with some photos for the last book. All they asked was that I give them credit for the photos. I'll check with Rock Island Auction and Amoskeag. Thanks for the reminder.

Julia is now owned by Morphy's Auctions based in Denver, Pa. I believe they have an auction house in Las Vegas as well. I've been to their showroom in Pa several times as their guns are on display for anybody to pick up, inspect and handle for several weeks before the auctions. White gloves only. https://www.morphyauctions.com/

So, David, will you call up Tue and get him to engrave a plate to emboss the frontispiece of this book?

99 Guy, thanks for the link to Morphy's. I would definitely like pics of the engraved cased set.
Gary, I can't raise them from the dead. I think Jesus was the last guy to do that. Now if he came back... GOTCHA!!

Well, while every one else is being helpful, can I be greedy and put in a request for the same numbers of the first book. I think I had #22 and #23. I'll check to be certain.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Joe, I planned to offer people the same number with the new book as used in the old book. No need for reservations for anyone who has a numbered copy of "A Coolector's Guide..."
Gary, not that far yet but am hoping for Savage advertisements. Some of your pics may well be needed.

I am already trying to talk to Morphy who bought Julia. At least I left the appropriate person a voice mail.
I am not finding some of my contact info. Does any one here know of a guy in New York who has 2 or 3 engraved 1895's? I need to get in touch with him to include his rifles.

My good friend gave up his gunshop business and moved to PA to work with Morphy. He was swinging through Oregon picking up a collection for a summer auction and we had lunch today. Let me know if you need an inside man.

BTW, that 99E in 303 that I took back to the Pa get together just made it home today with my buddy. That took a little longer than expected!

In that case, no. My guy at Morphy's gone. Looks like he just recently went to an auction house in Ohio. I was in there one time of many times, maybe 6 or 7 years ago to talked to him about an interesting WW ll 1911 I had that I wanted him to sell for me and we somehow got talking about baseball and he pulled a 1947 Yankee World Series uniform out of a paper bag next to his desk. Number 5, Joe D. When I held that up to look at it the hair stood up on my arms. Dave was not only a firearms expert but a renowned authenticator of baseball memorabilia as well. Maybe Roy's friend got Dave's job? Anyways, funny how small our world is sometimes...
