Not quite Bill!
The 1929 price list lists the AHE as $400. If you want a single trigger, add $32, vent rib add $39, beavertail forend add $27. These are suggested consumer prices. The AAHE, no options was $575. |

Chuck, what had the price dropped to after Parker Bros. (and every other retail business in the country) realized that a lot of people had lost a whole LOT of money?.... say 1930 or '31?

Chuck's information was invaluable to me. I have a 1929 AHE Trap with single trigger and beavertail. I had no idea it was worth that much. It was on the PGCA display at the Eastern Panhandle Shoot and I got offers, but not quite as high as Chuck mentions.

I'll double the amount Chuck suggests... in fact, I don't even need to write a check - got the cash right here. Where can we meet?

Let's see. According to Chuck, you could have bought an AHE .410 for $400 in 1929. The last AHE .410 I saw sold for real folding currency was $116,000, plus PA sales tax, if it was paid. Great appreciation. Dean and I have great pictures of the AHE .410. Maybe today we'll take them out an look at them.

I have pictures of it too. It was a skeet gun with 26" barrels if I recall. I have a lot of information on it too. I think there might have been an early 'ownership' connection between it and the .410 Skeet-er 2 barrel set I had for a while.
