The goal of the new division is to bring together a select offering of fine collectible and investment grade sporting guns. The company, well known as the only specialty auctioneer in the decoy and sporting art world that guarantees its descriptions and condition reports, will parlay that same guarantee to its new firearms division. The offerings will be sourced from collections around the country and will be vetted and cataloged by Dillon and Loewensteiner. Guyette and Deeter has also become well known for their exceptional artistic catalogs with superior photography and historical content, which will also carry over into the new gun divisions printed catalogs.
The firm's inaugural sale will take place February 4th at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels. Guyette and Deeter is kicking things off right as the sale is already being hailed as the finest offering of American Sporting Shotguns, offered in a single session, in the last decade. Headlining the sale are the estate collections of Charlie Hunter of Staunton, Virginia and Alan L. Phillips of Nevada. Both gentlemen had impeccable reputations in the fine sporting gun trade as discriminating buyers and collectors. Also featured is a selection of fine L.C. Smith shotguns from the C. Dean Rasmussen Collection, and a selection of extraordinary big bore fowling shotguns from the Estate Collection of Bernie Liberati. Other special highlights of the sale include a superb and landmark 20 Bore shotgun built by Antony Galazan of Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Co., his first production Boss Action shotgun - Serial Number 1!
