Gunbroker has a lot of six (6) Artilleries for 13 K ....they look pretty nice, but too deep for my pockets!

Wow. Talk about a six-pack! The seller took one out of Rock Island Auction's playbook.

If all original finishes, the opening bid seems like a great price. Will watch this one. I predict that they sell, and the bidding goes up to right under $15k.

I'm not an "arty" guy, unless I could find one dated 1919 with a grip safety, crossed rifles, a totenkopf, thumb safety marked "Rust", and an extractor marked "Carregada". j/k

Seems like there are folks out there that would be glad to make one for you.

I really think that you would be happier with a 1900 artillery. Those dished toggles would really look good, don't you think?

The chances of this lot of artilleries getting any bids are slim. The miltaries are all 1917's and one (the so called Forestry Service) piece has had a sling swivel added to it.

George is a genius. They didn't sell after 7 days and were relisted today!
