Default INVINCIBLES

Does anyone here know the location of the surviving Parker Invincibles? Several years ago I heard of a 16 gauge located here in South Carolina.

Just Wanted To Know.......George

I think they are all at the NRA Museum in Fairfax, VA.

There are no non surviving Invincibles. All three are accounted for, are owned by the Robert Peterson Estate and loaned for display at the NRA Museum. We saw them during the PGCA Annual Meeting several years ago ( 5 years ago?) with a special tour of the museum arranged by PGCA member and then NRA VP Craig Sandler.

Please correct me if I'm wrong - I thought I had read of a time when Tony Galazan owned at least two of them. Does anyone have information on whether this is true and if so, when did Tony own them.

I'd heard that Peterson had Tony do the bidding for him when they came up for sale.

Destry ... I think you're correct, all three Invincibles were in display at the Las Vegas show last January and that's the story I heard from one of the NRA guys at the display.

What are the gauges of the three and are three all that were ever made? I heard that one was put on display a long time ago in a hardware store and disappeared while in transit to the next display location.

Has anyone ever heard of the missing one or am I confused?
