I don't want to corrupt this thread but these Pachmayr guns remind me of some that were upgraded for someone in Anchorage some years back. My friend Trigg owned the 2-gun set, which ended up at Steve Barnette's, I think. The single gun was at a shop and was eventually redone to nicely remove the "Crazy Man" gold inlay for a buyer. I have tons of pictures of these guns if anyone is really interested.

Carl, i feel like your assessment is closer to reality than just opinion.

I, too am interested. As I recall, they are quite expensive, not some "bargain basement deal."

In 1984 my family and I were traveling from Tennessee through the LA area and I stopped to visit the Pachmyer store. I met his secretary that had been with him for years.
Frank had recently sold his business and was not there. She invited me into his
office in which several high grade European and American doubles were in his
private gun cabinet. There were also a couple of beautiful Parker upgrades, too.
She gave me a tour of the business. She showed me the area he stored hundreds of gun stock blanks. She said Frank would spend hours each day grading them.... his favorite thing to do! She told me a story that after Frank sold his business he came in one day and saw where the new owners had reduced the price of many of the guns he had sold them. He was so upset he
wrote them a check on the spot for over a million dollars and bought many of
the guns back! Most had been moved into his private office which I got to see. He told them "he had paid more for them than they had them priced"! His secretary said he was eccentric and could afford to be!
