About 2 months ago 240290 VHE 16 ga 26" 1 frame went through an auction and I bid on it for a bit but lost out. I guess the buyer did not complete the purchase so the same auction company relisted it 2 weeks ago. I was having a few Friday evening scotch drinks and put a in stink auto bid to keep em honest thinking it would again realise a fair market price. Well I got an e-mail a day later saying congrats on your purchase......Merry Christmas to me!! The pictures of the gun on the auction site were not the best so I was a bit concerned of what it would look like in hand. This was one time when things were better than advertised. Its a very solid respectable gun and I am very happy to add it to my Parker stash. It weights 6 1/2 lbs and measures LOP 14 1/2", drop 1 1/2" x 2 1/2".
Have a great evening everyone.

A very nice one Brian. I'll have to remember the secret to successful bidding is a few sips of scotch.

No! bourbon and moonshine do not make a better bidder, I have tried that and ended up with a Remington shotgun! Now what brand of scotch was that? Gary

Brian, Your gun was sold by Abercrombie & Fitch. Griffin & Howe has records.
A G&H letter is a great value at $60. They are usually several pages of info on the gun, the buyer, etc.
