51 minutes until end of auction,,,

I'm in the last 51 minutes of an auction on gunbroker,,,
I'm trying to buy a S&W Model 63 to go with my S&W Model 629.

I eventually want a cased set containing:
S&W Model 629,,,
S&W Model 686,,, (or maybe a S&W 620)
S&W Model 67,,,
S&W Model 63,,,
And just for grins, an NAA Mini in .22 Short.

I hate the last few minutes of an auction,,,
I know there is no "sniping" on a gunbroker auction,,,
But I have experienced those maddening last minute bids before.

46 minutes to go.

Aarond

No last second sniping.

So I have the upper end (Model 629),,,
And the lower end (Model 63).

Now to start the saving up process to fill in the middle.

This is serendipity at it's finest,,,

I called the Evil Pawn Shop to tell him I needed a copy of his FFL paperwork,,,
He said to come on over on my lunch break because he just put out a S&W Model 686 I might want to see.

Is there any doubt as to why I have given him the sobriquet of,,,
Evil Pawn Shop Guy.

The moment I get the Model 63 in hand.

The Model 629 is named Jezebel,,,
I'm thinking I might name the Model 63 Lilith

vocabulary.

I had to use the dictionary to find out what 'sobriquet' meant and how to pronounce it.

Cool word man.

It's an educational website,,,

I dunno where I picked up the word sobriquet,,,
I think it was used in reference to an alias in a spy novel I once read.

Basically it means nickname.
