Phil Robertson’s ‘Old and New’ Signature Mossbergs up for Bid in SHOT Show Auction
Fully demonstrating that its products are modern, innovative and, indeed, even hip, Mossberg has joined forces with Duck Dynasty star and famed call maker and hunting guide Phil Robertson to offer not one, but a pair of Model 930 shotguns to go to the highest bidder in the 2015 SHOT Show Auction.
Why a pair? According to a press release from the Hunting Heritage Trust, which administers the SHOT Show auction for NSSF, one of the pair is a Duck Commander Signature Series Model 930 that Phil Robertson himself carried to duck hunt every single day of the 2013-’14 Louisiana Waterfowl season—and if you know only one thing about Phil Robertson, it’s that he shoots a lot of ducks. Robertson will sign the gun, which will also include an engraved, personalized Kick’s choke tube and a certificate of authenticity. To complement this well-used shotgun, Mossberg has paired it with a Duck Commander Pro Series Model 930, just introduced to the company’s extensive lineup of shotguns and designed in conjunction with legendary pro shooter Jerry Miculek. Together, the pair is called the “Old & New Duck Commander Signature Package.”
“This Duck Commander Signature Series 930 has proven to be a good and loyal duck hunting companion and I’m happy to donate it back to my friends at Mossberg so it can be auctioned to help raise funds in support of our hunting and shooting sports heritage,” Robertson said in the press release from Hunting Heritage Trust. “Although I’ve been known to be generous at times, I’m also inclined to be practical and I wasn’t about to let go of my Model 930 until the guys at Mossberg promised to fix me up with a new 2015 DC Pro Series. As much as I liked my old 930, I look forward to field testing the new model.”
The Old & New Duck Commander Signature Package will be offered exclusively through GunBroker.com at this link. These shotguns join a one-of-a-kind custom Hornady rifle, created by gunmaker Bill Wiseman & Company, up for bid at this link (the rifle will also be on display at the GunBroker.com booth #15147), while bidding for a custom Ross Tyser bowie knife takes place here. Bidding for all items closes at 5:00 p.m. EST on Jan. 23, the final day of the 2015 SHOT Show. Good bidding and good luck!

SHOT Show 2015 Auction Gun and Knife Announced
If you were looking for a way to spend money while you’re in Las Vegas, skip the blackjack tables and keep your tablet, smartphone or laptop close at hand to stay on top of the bidding for this year’s SHOT Show auction items.
At stake are two items any outdoorsman or –woman would covet. The first is a large custom Bowie knife featuring a bull elk motif. Crafted by South Carolina blade artist Ross Tyser, the knife features a Damascus blade and Sambar stag handles featuring bronze and pewter accents.
“It’s a privilege to be selected to create a custom knife for the SHOT Show auction but I have to admit it’s also fun,” commented Ross Tyser in a press release from the Heritage Trust Fund, which administers the annual SHOT Show auction on behalf of the National Shooting Sports Foundation.
The second item up for bid is nearly the definition of “unique.” The “Hornady Number One” bolt-action rifle, chambered for .300 RCM and topped with a Leupold premium scope is not only the first-ever firearm to bear the Hornady name, it will be the only firearm ever to be stamped that way.
“We don’t mean to alarm our friends at Remington, Winchester or Ruger. Hornady has no plans of going into the gun business,” commented Hornady President Steve Hornady, in announcing the gun through a separate press release with the Heritage Trust Fund. “The concept of creating a one-of-a-kind Hornady rifle has been percolating for several years and we are excited to make “The Hornady Number One” a reality for 2015– especially since the gun has been selected as the 2015 SHOT Show Rifle.”
The action and barrel for this special rifle were developed by Texas gunmaker Bill Wiseman & Company. The rifle will come with two custom-fit stocks, a display of American select walnut checkered by Lucid Solution’s Clem Boyd, the other a camo shooting stock by Hogue. Engraving honors on this top-end firearm go to David Baron of Connecticut’s Baron Engraving, a company that’s engraved more SHOT Show firearms than any other.
The rifle auction can be found here (the rifle will also be on display at the GunBroker.com booth #15147), while bidding for the knife takes place here. Bidding for both items closes at 5:00 p.m. EST on Jan. 23, the final day of the 2015 SHOT Show. Good bidding and good luck!
