Default 8 gauge

I finally got lucky!!! Time and time again someone always beats me to a great deal but not this time. I hit the jackpot-an 8 GAUGE. I'll post pics this weekend. Even better yet, it is all there and all original.

Does lucky mean you paid $250 for it, or $25000?

Yes, it is a Parker. Lucky means I paid $1,300 for it. The gun's bores are mirror bright and appear to be untouched. I was told the gun has been stored for nearly 70 years. The gun is brown with patina. Looks to be an easy restoration. If my scale is correct, the gun weighs just under 14 lbs.

Would anyone know how many 8 gauges were produced by Parker? Curious as to the range of values of this gun since the Blue Book doesn't list 8 ga Parkers. It is a grade 3.

You really did well there. I'll have to tell the dealer I am working with that the last one sold for $1300, so come down on the price. Photos please. Inquiring minds want to see.
