The Armchair Outfitter

Some of you will recognize Raimey’s name from his frequent comments on this site. In the Spring 2008 issue of The Double Gun Journal, you can just see the back of his head in the photo on page 11 accompanying Diggory Hadoke’s article “British Gun Auctions, Part X.” Raimey is on the front row, of course, seated in the third or fourth seat from the center aisle. Mr. Hadoke presented a lecture at an auction of British double guns held December 8, 2007, in Columbia, South Carolina. This was Charlton Hall Auctions first effort at holding an auction of British sporting arms, but any lover of fine vintage firearms can hope that it won’t be their last. Look for Raimey’s notes from the auction in an upcoming article if I can get him to sit still long enough to explain them to me.
