Very nice Steve.
I was there yesterday for about an hour and a half viewing (make that handling) a whole lot of guns. I left telephone bids on two Parker Bros. lifters, the Grade 2 with the prettiest Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels.... which I lost, and the fantastic Grade 3 in 'nearly new' condition.... which I missed by $250 - dang it!! I checked out that Lefever Skeet gun too. A really nice one. Congratulations. Anybody care to 'fess up' and tell us who bought lot #69 and lot #253 ? .

Wow!! A time capsule with all the accessories, gun case, hang tag, and ammo to boot. Well done Stevie!
Looking forward to seeing this in person next time I see you. |

I'm sure Bob Beach can supply you with reams of information on that gun and the previous owner(s).

Thanks Dean, I will check that out. I know it did come from the "Alan Wilson" collection out of Vermont. Apparently Mr. Wilson was a large collector and passed away last year. There were many of his guns in this auction. Those Parker you mentioned were very nice and they sold pretty reasonably, IMO. That Parker .410 was a great looking gun.

The .410 VH was in about 85% condition in my opinion. 26" barrels with a semi-pistol grip. That one just goes to show how the market has diminished.
I think it boils down to there being fewer serious buyers in an uncertain economy, as well as a lot of gun collections being liquidated. .

The auction was on my calendar, but I completely missed it. Dean, is $19,000 too low for a .410 VH? Did the price include the buyer's premium?

Bill, I really don't know what the answers to your questions are but I have my own opinion on an answer to your first question... which I will keep to myself. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss it.
Best, Dean .
