That detachable stock is so pristine. I've only seen it in a book and never in a museum. That color photograph really captures the image.

Yes, that's the first good image I've seen of one of those, and it's a dandy. I was pretty sure lots of other people here would like seeing it too. My first thought was, 'Gotta post that pic!'
The thing looks pristine. I'd be willing to bet it sold for more than expected.
After I posted this thread last night, I decided I should at least put in a lowball bid, went back and looked more closely at the auction. I found that the auction date is TOMORROW. And they're something like 18 hours ahead of us. Bid submissions had to precede auction time by 48 hours, so I never had a chance even if I'd tried to bid the second I saw it.
That site posts all results for its auctions, so we can expect to know what the winning bids were before long.
