Sorry everyone, I'm having a heck of a time resizing the photos to upload them here.
Believe me, I've tried.

I guess if you have an interest in Karl's gun, PM me and I'll try to attach them in an email to you.

I'll let him know you said that Duane. I kept reassuring him that this method works if he wants to sell something.
An auction that starts at nothing is real. Yes, it can be nerve-wracking when you first start using that theory, but once you get going, the audience starts to get into it and the bid goes to where it belongs for that crowd on that day. My wife and I have done auctions since we got together in 1989.
Her father's business has been running since 1955, then we took over in 1989.
Plenty of years of doing it and it works because people see it's going to sell!
You get the real value of an item at that time with the right advertising and venue with the right people in attendance.

Good Luck to those bidding, Karl did his usual "tweaks" on her. It is a sweet shooting gun for sure.

Good Evening everyone!

Hey Mike,

I wasn't a Colt, it was a Springfield Armory 1911 "LOADED" 9mm pistol.

Those come factory "Tweaked", but then Karl also did "His Tricks" internally. 

It's a really nice shooting pistol.

Yes it is, still my sentiment stands.

(Guess I need to get that first pot of coffee all the way down before I start posting  ;D  )
