Yes, they posted shippers but it's pretty slim pickings. Also, the lack of SNs is bothersome but I am going to to bid on a few that I like.

Just one of the good Rugers from yesterday's Burley auction. Their website listed this as having hard rubber grips.

Collectors Firearms of Houston was the major buyer of Rugers at the Auction; if anything you were interested in, might watch their website.
The patches and buckles, etc went to an Internet bidder. Hopefully, it was one of our members. Post on here.

For the Coogs benefit, the 2 Maximums were misdescribed as being 357 Magnums; a ROCS member bought the pair for the best buy of the Auction.
Proud to have been a little help in advising to a new ROCS member! :D

I am not 100% yet but I believe I got the Colt Ace, the patches, the first ed. books, and the pamphlets in pachymar case.

Sorry, but I got the 1st Edition books and the Lot with Pachmyar case, soft cover books & P&I manuals.
I think you got the patches, etc. There is more good stuff in there than you could see in their pic. Congrats.

Here is another FT from that auction. 10 inch .357, # 315XX. Grips are from the group of Ruger grips from that auction. The shinny spots are not wear but reflections.

Even though I attend auctions fairly regularly I always feel bad when I know that I just bid against someone that I "know". This would make me somewhat timid in an ROCS raffle/auction type scenario. The way my info reads right now on the auction website is very confusing. I bid on more than a few items but the only lot it is saying that I lost was the one with all the factory boxes #576. That one actually shows outbid. The rest of them show just a black box that says status to include the books and pamphlets. So at this point, I'm only certain of the patches. My max was more than most would have considered. I'd hate to have missed out on that Colt Ace though. The tentative balance on the bottom tells me that I got way more than the patches....
