I can't say with any authority whatsoever whether the Parkers went poorly. Many had 'issues' as compared to originally shipped, but a DHE 20 ga for $5k is startling.
On the whole, I felt that much of the Winchesters assembled were going very well. I Have a difficult time believing a std grade '92, in the least desireable cartridge, 38-40, can be worth six thousand dollars. Condition may have trumped caliber here, but I have seen, and have several that are equal to, if not better, for less than half that. Tomorrow's Winchesters are the stuff dreams are made of, and I'm anxious to see how they do, if only to reaffirm my knowledge I'll never have one like most of them. |

I don't think I've seen a better lineup of fine Winchesters. Stunning. Not enough High Walls for me though.... One could spend hundreds of thousands just tomorrow! I want the long bbld 1886 in .50 express! What a beauty. Seems that lot 1123, the 12ga lifter for $2500 was reasonable. I really like lot 1124 the 10ga lifter in the case w/goodies. Nice piece. Lot 1584, the damascus Colt .45-70 dble rifle, S/N 32, is to die for! What a fine moose gun that would make.

I had high hopes that some day I would own the A-1 Special 8 gauge. I first saw and coveted that gun in the late sixties or early seventies on Jack Puglisi's table at Baltimore. It would be a great rainy day snow goose killer.

Too tough to call on that question Brian.
Bill... was that "tongue in cheek (I hope)? |
