John Hopkins collection at Woodlawn Boys

[theJanitor]

When these guys buy estate guns, they don’t mess around, and only buy great stuff. They will typically run two or three rounds of auctions to finish selling the collection. Figured you guys might appreciate what’s being sold, no reserve

David (the Woodlawn boys) is a retired Jefferson County (Birmingham) deputy. His shop is not open to the public, but it is near my gun club and I have been invited to come visit many times. If you love the classics, what he has in process at any given point in time would take your breath away. Some things are staged with them that will not go active on Gunbroker for another 30-90 days, and for somebody like me a visit causes a weeks worth of "gun dreams" getting to see and handle that stuff. They do a great job preparing these deals for auction and certainly get the collector community's attention.

While this one is spectacular, there are some awesome ones in his pipeline that we won't see until summer.

I found them a few years ago, when chasing down a Pachmayr Combat Special. They had three custom 1911's from an estate, the PCS, a "PCS" from the 45 Shop, and something else which is slipping my mind. They are a seller on GB, that I always try to keep up with

I want all of them
