Several would be worth a look by me.
Depends on the sophistication and enthusiasm of the bidders whether prices will be cheap, reasonable, or high.
 
sign me up for these two...

--Smith & Wesson 6" barrel, 41 mag cal., Ser.#N618349
--Smith & Wesson Model 25-2, 45LC cal., trigger modified, 6" barrel,
Ser.# 1357828

Depending on condition and price, I would be eyeing these two very closely, and willing to make an offer.

Every time there's an auction around here, even household auctions with a gun or two, they go high. I'll try to go and write down prices.
 
Yeah I'd like several on that list. But as stated, auction guns go for a lot around here also. $250 guns go for $500-600. Guys get in "bidding wars" (PC version) and way overbid. They could easily buy the gun online used and even new for less than the winning bid.
 
Items 40, 43, 51, & 55 are the only ones that I would be interested in. But, I quit going to any auctions for guns many years ago because the ones that I did go to, every gun was bid up to way above market value. Some times more than double the value. Top that with all the auctioneers (At least here in Arizona) add a 10% to 20% “Buyers premium” and an FFL transfer fee up to $35. It just isn’t worth wasting my time.

But I wish you good luck. Maybe it's better in KA.
 
Dang, there's some nice-sounding stuff in there. When my rich uncle passed up in MO circa 2006 they auctioned off all his good stuff, unfortunately I was tied up in Korporate Amerika bs trying to climb the ladder and didn't get to go. I emailed, snailmailed, called the auctioneer and tried to get in touch with cuzin Richard (who I had never met) but no luck. Uncle Frank was known as a collector of rimfire guns, the story goes he had dozens and dozens of various vintages....I don't really know. I had plenty of cash but no time.
 
There is no reason to go to that auction without money.....you might be surprised at what you can pickup.
 
I would pass on two of them: number 47 and number 52. All of the rest I would be very much interested in bidding on and owning.

Any and all would be a keeper IF the ending price was good enough but with most auctions the end price will be crazy high. Do not for get those "fees" either. Who knows a little research ahead of time on going rates of each and pre auction inspection would shape up the list into try for $$$ max or others with do not bid. Remember rarity and condition is king. I would take some funds as there might be some surprise low bids for whatever reason. Have fun, kinda like going to the zoo if you want to see it like I usually do.
 
#42 is not correct - the Ruger Red Label is a shotgun, not a .22 semi

There are a lot of nice handguns; personally those S&W 25-2 in 45ACP would get my attention
