Beeman had a huge collection but i don’t think he made sure they all worked?

Beeman had thousands of airguns and was more of a collector than a shooter, so many of his guns fell into disrepair. I've heard rumors that some of his auctioned items were missing internal parts, which may or may not be true. All I know for sure is that I successfully won five spring air pistols from the Beeman collection during the 11/1/23 RIA auction, and, contrary to the descriptions provided by RIA, only one was in proper working order. Ironically, the only one that did work was an airgun I sold to him in 2004 that I wanted to get back.
