It is an original Parker upgraded by Pachmayr

Jay Oliver 07-29-2021 01:11 PM

I also wouldn't mind owing this one, especially since many trap guns are modified anyway. I still have a Parker SBT on my wish list.

I zoomed in and the inscription is hard to read. I think it says

Donated By(I think...this line was tough to make out)
Nan & Frank
Pachmayr
To
Ducks Unlimited

Sure beats the usual plastic camo autos they usually have as prizes

Greg Hartman 07-29-2021 02:37 PM

Yes the inscription reads "Donated By Nan & Frank Pachmayr to Ducks Unlimited"
Not sure what year the donation was made.

Whats the asking price ?

Greg Hartman 07-30-2021 01:34 PM

This gun is in an Inuit community in Nunavit, Canada. The asking price is a quad:) but I'm sure I'll settle on a cash amount since the logistics of getting a quad up there is ridiculously expensive not too mention a huge over pay! Would an offer of $2500. be unreasonable? I'm not looking to take advantage of anyone up North but I just don't know what is reasonable.

I think you would be low if I understand the asking price I would say triplet or so . the gun is a nice looking gun and it is what it is .

This gun gets more interesting by the hour,

Bob Brown 07-30-2021 08:10 PM

Do you know how it got there? Bet it's an interesting story how a gun like that ended up in a community in Nunavut. I don't think there is a trap club in the entire territory. RCMP officer maybe?

As far as price I've found that Parkers in Canada are about 25% less than what I would expect them to go for in the U.S., but I have no idea what that price should be for this interesting SBT.

Greg Hartman 07-30-2021 09:32 PM

It's not uncommon to see high quality guns and optics given as payment to the guides and outfitters in the North country, to hear of a gun that is unfired is where my curiosity kicks in! It could have been RCMP or politician who took it up there for a ceremony years ago and this gentleman's dad ended up with it, who know....I'll share the story if/when I find out.
