Thanks for the history on the sixteen Bill. I'm sure I had heard or read the story at one time or another but my memory cells failed me as to the particulars. Thanks.

Parker Bros. Invincible -- Dick Baldwin's article on the A.C. Middleton 16-gauge was in the May 1971 Guns & Ammo. The Roger Lake article on the Dr. Lyman gun is in Shooting Sportsman, September/October 2000, and a letter from the good Doctor's son is in the January/February 2001 issue. The Parker Pages article on the 16-gauge Invincible is in Volume 15, Issue 1, Spring 2008.

Parker 200000 was consigned at Von Lengerke & Detmold by W.H King on December 20, 1923. It was returned (c/o Parker Bros.) on January 5, 1924. I guess that at $800, it was a bit too expensive for a last minute Christmas present. It came back to VL&D later in 1924 and was sold on December 1, 1924 for $850. At that price it was over $300 more expensive than the A-1 Special below it.
 Note that in the VL&D record book it was not called an Invincible but rather a "Quality Grade". Compliments of Griffin & Howe, Inc. Bob Beach Last edited by Robert Beach; 07-12-2012 at 11:00 AM.. Reason: Additional inmformation |

Tony Galazan's name is frequently mentioned in discussions about the Invincibles. Did Tony own one or more of these at one time?

The appraisal of the guns is partly a result of the sale and resale of the guns, both individually, and as a group. The untold part of the story was courtesy of The German Gun Collector's Association, Paul Jaeger and family. Another part left out was the Tony Galazan connection.

Sorry, Dave S., I was writing as you were posting. Dave Noreen's bibliography covers a lot go ground and clears up many misconceptions and ommissions in this story. I recommend reading it.
