I got a list of guns at a local auction by sherrifs office. There are some that I have never heard of or have heard of but don't know anything about. If anyone does and knows if it's worth having and average price, jump right in.1 Sharliegh 22 rifle2 Vanguard 270 rifle3 Cresent 12 ga double4 Rohm 38 revolver5 Hawes 226 Waffenefabrik mauser7 Bryco 9mm8 Westpoint 12 ga

    Your Sherrif must be one of the few that doesn't grind up their inventory. Anyway, the Cresent is an inexpensive hardware store smoke pole, and "waffenefrabrik" is a German Military rifle. The remainder probably are inexpensive types, too. These items were used by hoods/poachers, not by sportsmen, so are usually in real poor condition. If you are thinking about bidding, I'd get there early and field strip (inspect) the one(s) you are interested in. Remember, when it comes to tools (guns are tools), get the best you can afford. It ALWAYS pays.

    NUMBER 3, IF IN GOOD SHAPE IS $400.00 THE REST IS JUNK. MAYBE $100.00 FOR THE LOT.

    To the best of my knowledge, 'Crescent' is a early brand name used by Sears for a crudely finished weapon. Seen two which I would have used for clubs before I trusted them w/ live ammo. Vanguard is a product line name used by Weatherby, but may have been used by others. Waffenfabrik = some sort of German military arm, 90+% likelihood an 8mm.

    If the Vanguard is in fact the Weatherby Vanguard, it was built by Howa in Japan. It is a very decent rifle, but there has been a recall by Weatherby on some of the Vanguards. It might be worth a look, and if in really good shape $100 would be a nice buy.

    The Hawes is the only one I would look at and it would have to be the right Mod. Some were down right cheap (In the Sat Nite Spl range)Worth less than $70.A Hawes Sauer Would be alot more in the $200 range

    Well got back from the auction. They had some pretty good deals. I bought a cresent 12ga double with a cracked stock for $31. If anyone has one or knows a place to check for a good stock let me know.The main thing about the auction was, if you pre-register they will do a background check in advance, or if you don't you have to wait a few days, or if you have a CCL which I do, you get it now.BUT...they did not fill out any forms for the guns, just pay, pick it up and go. I thought this was really nice of them. Strange that a dealer has to fill out a yellow sheet but the sherrifs dept don't.
