That's the one Ed. A real find and scarce. It came with the two volume deluxe edition of the Baer Parker books, both done in yearbook binding by Jostens. You had to buy those before you could buy the NY showroom catalog reproduction.

If you could find the two vol deluxe set of the Baer books that would be great. They are numbered sets. The books are well done, and he makes comments about restorations that are as true today as they were in 1975.

Nice Find Ed ..Congratulations. I bought my 2 volume signed and numbered set along with the salesmans catalog years ago and I think I payed $250.00 for it then. If you ever wish to sell it I think you can easily recover your money and make a few bucks to boot.

Dave - I think I'll keep it. What i really want to find is an example of the DH shown with monte carlo stock with straight grip and skeleton butt. Wow.

I agree Ed. Keep an eye on Ebay. The two volume set by Baer shows up every so often. Is your catalog signed and numbered? I would think it is.

It's not signed but it is #327.

Of all the catalogs, this is the one from which I would love to place an order.

Carl, you have said it all.

You really found a deal. Good luck on it still being there. I paid 275 a year or so ago at an auction. Thought it was something to do with reproduction Parkers. Misread. Speed can cost one. Saw one on ebay a while back for 175. See what a deal that might be.
