Make your Own Consecutive Set
 

Has anyone noticed this yet?

I am tempted, but already spent my gun budget through 2023

2 - Grade 3, 10 Gauge lifters. I would love to see someone put these two old girls back together again:

Serial#17147
https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/...LOT487029.aspx

Serial# 17148
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/861810468

Someone make it happen. I have a grade 2 12 gauge not too far off from these with 32" barrels #17633. Nevermind that though...

Let me know the good news and I look forward to reading your article in Parker Pages :)

That would be pretty exciting!

I guess together again is probably not the best way to describe it, but it would be nice nonetheless...

That would be very cool. Thanks for pointing this out.

The one on Gunbroker looks like it has the Parker made laminated steel. Right pattern and P stamp.

The guy on Gunbroker is a bit off base in my opinion , but what do I know ! I’ve been asked quite a few times if our families last name before we left the old country was Thompsonstein :rotf:

I agree Craig that one on GunBroker has been sitting at $6000 for quite awhile. However, it is in nice shape and I think those Laminated barrels are a plus. Before all of this recent craziness I thought about driving up to the gun store, which is probably an hour and a half at most from me. I think at $5000 it is worth considering at $4500 I might actually "need" it. It is just is such nice shape. The trigger guard and lifter button still have bluing on them!

Then maybe you save a little on the one at Morphys, and that has the plus of 32" barrels. That one is nice as well.

These are nice Parkers for sure and $7-8k might get you one heck of a set. I can already imagine how amazing they would look in a 2 gun takedown case :) That would be the set you show up with duck or goose hunting.

I would love to have a consecutive set of lifters, but you won't get it here. The only 17148 on the gunbroker ad is the description. The gun and all its parts are #17142. Better luck next time.

Even if the numbers were consecutive, with two entirely different barrel steels they would not comprise a “set” in the true sense of the word as it applies to guns. It would be merely a couple of consecutively numbered Parkers.

I love the GB one. What great condition and what wonderful Parker-made Laminated barrels!!

Sorry I missed that! I agree Dean that one on GunBroker is just beautiful!
