Boat tipped over? I can't think of any reasonable explanation for something like this.

Oh My. I cannot imagine how that could be allowed to happen. Dean is that the same forum as the doublegunshop.com forum or is this something different ?

It is the facebook group.
I thought only 12g guns were “boat anchors”???

That's about a 40K boat anchor now.
Wow. Being naive in restoring, is that "fixable" ?

from what the picture show - assuming no serious pitting (still "restorable" with sleeving? ) the barrels are probably surface rust the action would have to be heavily cleaned and the engraving all redone the wood- assuming it was not wet long enough to rot is a refinish- other wise a restock an old guy who did wood and canvas canoes told me he could "restore" a canoe from one rib if the client wanted to spend the mony

Sure. Anything is fixible. Hard to say based on that photo how bad things really are. The barrels would be the biggest concern. And if the rust hasnt been able to take deep hold, then it would not be fatal. I have seen much worse looking brought back. One example was an A-1 special that was in the trunk of a 1930s car, on the bottom of a lake, since that time. The Parker would sure be worth while. The 21 less so, in my opinion.

IMO, before the flood it’s value may have been considerably higher. As I understand it, a pipe had burst or leaked and nobody thought to check on these guns in time. I also understand that the barrels are beyond salvage. .
