It's a fund raising auction I believe. People often open up their wallet, and shut down their brain when it's some "cause'.

Exclamation

When I first seen it listed I wondered where it would go and put it on my watch list , I don't think it is close to the end of the bidding either , the advertisement on it makes it sound like something really special !!!!!!!!!!! If you notice it has already been viewed 3521 times ,truly amazing already with a long way to go to the end of the auction ! Best thing to do is sit back and watch and keep your finger away from that bid button !!!!!!

Doesn't anyone else find it annoying that they can't even remember where the Parker gun was made?
Hamden? Sheesh.

Despite the errors and other issues you have to give the seller credit for an overall well done, if not completely accurate, listing. So many sellers throw up terrible pictures and one line descriptions. It is all about the sales pitch. This person did a good job with the sales pitch. I suppose reusing Turnbull's excellent pictures helped make that easier.

Must be a case of two bidders playing king of the castle.

An early EH just sold for what I thought was a strong price. Maybe the market is picking up.

Seems like a fair price considering the condition of the but stock.

Really....any Parker in "one piece" that is under $1000 becomes well priced. By "one piece" I mean nothing is missing, the barrels are not dented up or corroded, the wood is fixable without too many heroics, etc.

On that EH, I'm kinda wondering why the 'Parker Bros' script on each side looks so crisp and shiny. It's almost like someone took an engraving tool and chased the lettering for some reason. Well, on second look I see the receiver has been 'recolored' so in that case it looks like they chased the script but not any of the rest of the engraving. Kinda like buying an old car an repainting just one fender.

Broken stock and bad amateur refinishing that didn't come out quite right, questionable bores? I think this is an extremely strong price or an uninformed buyer.
