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. |

That is a crazy price-Did it meet reserve?

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.

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.
