Fred A. Huntington is the son of Fred T. Huntington, a a dedicated shooter who found it difficult to obtain quality bullets. After reading a gunsmithing book, he began to craft his own dies in the back room of his father's laundry business. RCBS was founded in 1943 by Fred T. Huntington. It became known around the world for high-quality reloading equipment. RCBS was purchased by Omark Industries 1976. Later that year, Fred T. Huntington and his two sons, Fred A. and Charles, together opened Huntington's Sportsman's Store. Opening in July 1976 in Oroville, Ca., the store sold dies, guns, and ammunition. After Fred T.'s passing in 1998, Fred A. & Charles "Buzz" continued to operate the store and Huntington Dies Specialties. Now Fred A., 85, has retired to enjoy his remaining years work-free. Fred A. closed the store in October 2023 after 50 years in business. This was a heartbreaking decision for the family and for the loyal customers. But what a great tribute to the man who started it all. Per the consignor, several of the firearms in this collection were originally owned by Fred T. Huntington and were once on display at Huntington's Sportsman's Store as part of their unique "museum" display. All of the firearms from Fred A's collection are noted with two asterisks (**). |

Scarce Dyer & Robson British Tip-Barrel Very Pistol Lot #467 (Sale Order 473 of 842) Scarce Dyer & Robson British Tip-Barrel Very Pistol, #303, 26.5mm, 4" barrel, 8" overall, weighing 1.15 lbs., ca. 1877 to 1889, by Dyer & Robson of London, who produced small numbers of Very pistols, including the more commonly found Model 1882 "Double Ender" with the rotating barrel. This tip-barrel model looks to be less common. Pulling the ejector rod forward allows the action to open. The spring properly pulls the rod forward upon opening, ejecting the fired case. The trigger return spring is weak or perhaps broken as the hammer will not stay cocked unless you push the trigger forward a bit to engage the hammer, then stays cocked though the trigger pull is light. The frame and breech both have the "(crown)V" London view marks on the left side. The breech has the "(crown)CP" London proof mark. Left side of the frame is marked "DYER & ROBSON/LONDON."; right side of the frame is marked "VERY'S PATENT." Inside of the frame, underside of the barrel block, and front of the ejector button are all marked with serial number 303. The brass looks to have been cleaned long ago as there are traces of dried white polish visible when the action is open. There is no indication of cleaning in recent times. Wood grips are in good condition. Bottom of the grips and frame have some battering, as if from hammering. The description "Very pistol" comes from Edward Very, the U.S. naval officer who developed and patented them in 1877, the flares still known as Very lights. Est.: $600-$900. (No FFL Required)
