Hey Cam,
#4.) Are they all for sale? and if so...
#5) Can you email me the seller's contact information to me?

S & S, unfortunately these are a friend's private collection (not Jack) and they're not for sale! :cry:

But the cool thing is, some of the rifles are of LE departments that I've never come across prior to or outside his collection. A real treasure trove of history there.

Thanks for the response Cam. It is a very nice looking collection of Police Autoloaders. They are all in very fine shape. One of the best collections that we have seen here on the great 8 site. It's a beautiful group!

Cam,
Thanks a million for posting the picture of seven POE guns for me to ponder as I journey homeward on my vacation break! Now I have something else to think about instead of just noticing out-of-state license plates as I drive!!! :roll:

But really....
I'll do like Jeff does and add to the numbered list... :mrgreen:

#6 can you give any clues as to what specific LE agencies are unique to this collection? of course, only so long as the owner allows. This would really pique a historian's interest! (Cleveland, Ohio for example? or maybe Detroit, MI or even Albany, NY?)
#7 I notice what appears to be one straight stocked rifle. Was that an 8 or an 81, Cam?
#8 I am not gonna beg for seller info, just for more opportunities for you to post more detailed pictures - IF you are allowed to do so at some point, Cam!
#9 hope the fella who collected these babies takes 'em out for a spin now & then!

take care 'yall - Adam

Adam, I appreciate your questions because it's time I make a post listing the various agencies that purchased POE guns. I'll do that separately!

My friend has collected these guns, literally over decades. And you are correct there is 1 Model 8 POE in the stack. I'm sure he's shot them once or twice, lol
