Default Really?

I guess the bidding is because of the Hamden rarity

“This shotgun has been brought back to the condition in which it would have left Parker’s Hamden, Connecticut factory in 1879.”

Hmmm. A 12 gauge choked (unchoked?) to .760. Yep. Those Parker chokes are special.

The 'original', non-matching, hammers are a nice touch, also!

The actual restoration work on the gun is excellent. However, I just cant stand when I see hammer screws out of time on restored guns though. It happens a little too often though.

The sellers description is full of a lot of fanfare that is worthless.

That slip would have to be worth $2500 for both to bring the current price IMHO. Wish I knew the S/N.

The bid price is very bewildering, just speaking from a standpoint of what the gun is, a restored 0 grade.

I am sure who ever the buyer is will be posting on here to find out what his new Parker is worth.

Looking through the "Bid History" I don't see a single bidder I recognize.
Where did they all come from??
