I noticed the 8ga Lefever and the 8 ga Parker. The bores are both around
.900'' is that normal?

I sure wish I could attend this auction, not to buy, just to look. Anyone else receive their catalog #2 from Julia? Probably the most unbelievable auction of world class doubles ever assembled. If you like Model 21s, this is definitely the place to be.

Parker was something like $12,500 and the Lefever was something like $15,500. Of course, that was without the buyer's premium and shipping, insurance, etc

Based on other prices I have seen or am aware of that Parker wasn't a bad buy considering with 120 rounds of factory BP ammo .

Well that is if it met the reserve !

Both of those guns made a reserve, if one was placed on them.

Some fine pieces remain unsold, including a few good Parkers, offers still being considered as of this late date.

I believe if I had intentions of buying either of them I would have gone to the auction and brought them back with me in my vehicle . Then there would be no need for shipping , insurance and the worry with UPS/FEDEX/USPS .

That depends on where you live. I live in New Hampshire about 2 hour drive from the auction and I would ship it home. You see, New Hampshire has no sales tax and the savings of taking position at home more than offsets the cost of shipping & insurance. Maine has a health sales tax and if the difference is great between your home state and Maine ....... you get the idea.

I have an FFL and a tax number . So that's pretty much a moot point .

If I have over 10 G's tied up in a gun I'd much rather have it in transport in my vehicle rather then a common and I do mean common carrier .
