$3450 for a B grade??? That's just a few hundred more than my last V grade acquisition. Wow.

I think it was a complete and utter fluke that that BH went so low.

I do not believe it is in any way representative of current market values of Parkers.

They have it posted with the added buyers commission as part of the price so I assume it sold. I was on the phone waiting for the item I was interested in and listened as it sell. I didn't look at it or have any interest in it at the time but I certainly didn't expect it to sell at that price. Of course that wasn't the case on what I was waiting for, if you know what I mean.

The rare flat rib barrels on the B Grade are worth near the selling price. I would be converting that great pigeon gun back to "no safety".

If it makes anyone feel any better Julia's No. 1214 SN 95987 is listed in "THE BOOK" as a T14 or C Grade and not a B. All other info checks out. It would be interesting to see a research letter on that gun. Then again I just checked the online images and the watertable is distinctly marked "B" "5" so, again, "THE BOOK" was wrong.

Best Regards, George :banghead

No, that doesn't make me feel any better at all. "The Book" has a lot of errors and that is obviously one of them - be it from the original order book or stock book of the transcription of the data in the 1990's.

That gun, ser. no. 95987 is not and never was a Grade 4. There is nothing about that gun which even remotely suggests a Grade 4.

It seems to me the prices on collectible guns are down and the prices on tactical weapons are up.
