Morphy Auction
 

DHE 28 gauge skeet gun just sold for $56,000. Add the 23% to that and you have $68,880.00

Wow!

Dang!

:shock:

The AAHE in case with hang tags has to be wrong at $2,500.00. That’s nuts

Lot 2239 says sold for $2,500.00 ONSITE. Can it be?

Something is up there.

Add an extra "0" to the left of the decimal point!

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to chat about the results. I cataloged all of the Parkers in this sale for Morphys and am intimately familiar with all of the guns and the results.

I was a bidder on the 28 ga. DHE- Lot #2215 but it went over my limit. Really wanted that gun but had to settle for lot #2274 - a beautiful 20 ga. Trojan instead. Quite a jump down but Im weak when it comes to high condition guns. One of the better 20 ga. Trojans that I've seen and a great benchmark gun to judge the case color by.

The AAHE is not showing now. Also of note a very nice CHE 12 brought $24,600 and the DHE .410 skeet $49,200.

I "attended" the auction today (virtually), and was surprised at the unevenness of the hammer prices. As is the case in most auctions, I saw some good deals and some not so good (from an incredibly biased point of view). My wife is so glad I won't bid on single trigger guns or those with beavertail forearms. She is not as happy that I like small bore guns with composite barrels and higher shooting dimensions. Apparently, based on today, I'm not the only one.

Anyone smiling after the auction? I saw the Trojan sell. A very nice gun, and one to keep for a while.
