Hi Lee and all,

Two days ago, I received a notice by the same auction house as before, Thomas Del Mar, that there will be another London sale of contents from the Higgins Armory on May 7 this year.

I cannot tell whether this sale is going to comprise the whole of what used to be 'The Higgins' but in all probability it will. This, I'm afraid, would really mean the end of an era.

I still remember many prices literally going through the roof last year, fetching more than triple of what they would have made without that provenance ...
