Peter Wilke Death

[lanshoka]

Hello..

I was just informed that Peter Wilke passed away about 2 years ago and that his 12(2) and 12(3) collections were sold by his daughter at auction.

Does anyone here know anything about this? I'm looking for a 1928-A1 Thompson and an Israeli UZI that he bought from Ellwood Epps back in 2009.

I'm hoping that a movie house didn't buy them and then transfer them into their inventory.

I appreciate any help in this matter. If you feel more comfortable sending me a private message rather than replying here please do so.

Thank-you.
Jim Loney.

It's an auction, everything to the highest bidder, who ever that maybe, that is capitalism.

More likely they went to collectors source, who have been known to frequent the Ontario auctions when there are prohibs available. If that was the case, they likely have since been deactivated, since they are worth more in that condition (more potential buyers). In fact, there is one of each on their site now.
