140 Years in the Making: "The Marshfield Find" Stuns at Auction!

[@SherlockTowers]

I am convinced that the work you guys do will never get the attention it deserves by the general public. This entire auction (plus the video work) was a public service toward the preservation of history. Well done.

I certainly appreciate these videos, also looking forward to the upcoming auction in October. Thank you from New Orleans Louisiana

Amazing! If I said I watched the original video on this rifle a dozen times, I'd be light. Congrats to RIA and the new custodian!

Amazing Beautiful Rifle. Congratulations on a Once in a lifetime buy .

What a beautiful piece

[@jacobcochran51]

This is crazy

[@ADRay1999]

I have no doubt if it’s kept in its current condition it will fetch 1,000,000 one day

[@ElainesDomain]

Perhaps but not if I had it. I'd have to run it a few times. It'd still be mint but it would bug me not to do it.

@@ElainesDomain Then its a good thing you don’t have it

[@ElainesDomain]

@@lincolnwaffle6038 You're probably right. There isn't another one. It would drive me nutso but you're right.

[@jasonarringotn2501]

This is awesome, 300k amazing :)

[@Teleman01]

That's an automatic great investment. It will just go up exponentially over time.

[@gaugecheesehead]

That was way lower than I thought it would go for.

[@pauldulaney35]

Its interesting the rifle was never represented to be all original. A very carefully worded description indeed.

[@TyrusPerises]

It literally says "mint" in the description.

[@bigshot9557]

I think it should have went for way more than that if I knew it would come out that low of a price I would have been there bidding on it just simply because I put my eyes on anything I bid on but I thought it would have went for at least a million dollars with original shipping box and just like it came in 1886 that’s unbelievable whoever got that they stole that I believe

[@jeffgavin]

can payments be in buckets of pennies

[@jasonpatnoude2836]

There is only one... and this is it... fabulous and high enough price it will remain the same for another 100 years
