I'm assuming one of these guns is the gun featured in the Muderlak article. The G grade 16 gauge hammer gun? I didn't read the whole thread but it sounds like it.

Destry: The only Parker that I'm aware of in the sale, as Bill Murphy posted, is a D3 12 gauge hammergun with 30 inch barrels & capped pistil grip that is mentioned in The Parker Story as a Frank Butler gun.

Best Regards, George

I only lightly read the thread, there was mention of a hammer gun and a trunk full of stuff from the family so I was thinking this was the 16 gauge.

Bill: Your gun stands on it's own merit, it doesn't need to be an Annie Oakley piece to be great.

Destry, this is not the little 16 gauge. I think the 16 will be buried deep for a few more years. Thanks for the compliment about my gun. I have not worked very hard on its provenance, but may in the future. I will display it at the Southern with no comment about its possible previous ownership. I will miss seeing you there.

You can now click on Heritage Auction Companies web site "HA.com" and go to the June 10th., 2012 auction "Legends of the Wild West Signature Auction" and see great pictures of Annie & Frank's Parker SN 48767. There about 10 images that you can click & make larger. It is definitely a Grade 3 and according to "The Book" is Toplever D3 12 Bore No Extras with Capped Pistol Grip and 30 inch Damascus Barrels.

Best Regards, George

George,

Any guess as to how much the Annie Oakley Parker may sell for?

Richard, Richard, Richard. Just bid and don't worry. We've been in PGCA too long to worry about the bottom line. It's all about the history.

I still am not sure. Will my wife kill me if I mortgage the house?
