When CSMC says “make offer”, the price is too high. SN looks to be Photoshopped out of the trigger guard tang. Maybe it’s just me, but my spider sense tingles when I read their ads.

While I was sitting on the couch talking to Tony, Lou came to him and asked about an email inquiry. The gun in question was marked $9995, and Tony said without hesitation "$8500". If you're not savvy enough to make an offer, you either didn't do your homework, or you don't know what something's worth. |

I understand your point Edgar. Problem is certain vendors of vintage doubles seem to have an abundance of “high grade” guns that fall into the serial number range that we have no records to prove they have upgraded or are original. I’ll let it go at that.

I get that, Mike, but what I was addressing was your comment that if it said 'make an offer' your interpretation was the price was too high. If anything, I've always known Tony to be open to negotiation. I really haven't bought a lot from him; maybe 6 or 7 guns in all the years I've known him, but I don't think I ever paid what he had on it, and even felt I could have done better. Tony buys lots of guns. He has even bought guns from me when I was selling to buy from someone else. He reminds me of guns my dad or I have, or have had, that I don't remember. If he has "an abundance" of guns where records don't exist, I think its a stretch to suggest that he plans it that way.

True Edgar… However, there are Parkers suspected of being upgrades who’s serial numbers fall within the range of thise contained within the pages of some of the missing books. I will refrain from naming names of those in who’s posession sone of the missing books might be found.
