Amoskeag auctions, have you ever been?

[New Hampshire]

While doing a search I came across Amoskeag auctions. I cannot believe this is only 15 minutes from me and I never knew about it. I just looked over the catalog of the last auction and there were some amazing black powder guns there. I mean gorgeous! There next auction is in March and the catalog is not up yet, but you can see the catalog of the last auction if you want here: Auction No. 140 Digital Catalog - Amoskeag Auction Company Really well laid out preview, and I am looking forward to seeing what is coming up next auction. Learn something new everyday.

Never heard of them. Catalog looks well done.

I've bid at Rock Island Auctions and other auctions. Sometimes they have fee's for remote bidding that are waived in person. Also, some have buyers premiums. Be sure to read the fine print.

I am just looking forward to going and actually seeing these firearms in person. Their last auction had some beauty's.

I like auctions, its always best to go to the previews as pictures don't always tell the real story. I've been sunrises both ways.

Walked away from a local auction with a nice Hatfield and an original Great Western Gunworks.

Little disappointed from time to time too. Didn't win an Ed McGivern pistol at 5K, it sold for 15K which is above my budget. Went 4K on an Elmer Keith Marlin 1894, it went for just a little more. My greatest disappointment is not winning an original 1803 Harpers Ferry, bid on two and lost both.

Would love to see pictures of any originals from the preview.

I have bought from them, and never been to an auction in person. I rank them as the best aution house for accuratly describing their guns for sale. They do a great job of describing the bores, which Rock Island never does.

Spent a few hundred thousands with them when I had my gun shop. I still bid and buy for my own collection. They are good to go.

Well if you were in NH, pretty good chance I was a customer at some point

The best in the business. I drive 130 miles to pick up. The best descriptions out there. If they are wrong or miss something, they make it right, way better than Poulin's here in Maine!

A great auction house that specializes in all types of firearms. Living an hour away, I used to attend all their auctions in person, but now bids directly with them on-line. I still spend a couple hours at the pre-auction inspections, which are helpful and educational. Their descriptions are well researched, and they put together an "errata" sheet to their catalogs that contains later information or modifications on the lots. Likewise, their staff is courteous and competent. Yes, over the past 15 years, I've bought quite a few items from them with absolutely no problems. More importantly, I consigned several hundred high quality firearms from my deceased buddy's extensive collection and was delighted with their service. They provided free packing and pick-up of these consigned guns and moved them the 8-hour drive from Pennsylvania to New Hampshire.
