Bruce:
By "New York Salesman's Catalog" do you mean the long, perhaps 20" by 9" catalog with the beautiful engravings of Parker shotguns in all grades? I saw one some time ago at a shop in NY. It did say it was a reproduction.
What are they worth now?

Yes, its really great. Its like pen and ink drawings, a real work of art. I have a gun that matches one of the drawings and exhibit the drawing and gun together when we do a exhibit for people to see Parkers and their lore.
If people haven't seen this thing, I can take and post some pictures.
I don't know what they go for now. I suspect they are expensive, but Murphy knows all that stuff and he can tell us.

| Is there any interest in the 1987 Remington material related to the abortive attempt to build the recreation of the AHE 20 gauge? I've got several pieces related to that gun

| Yes, John, I am a little light on the AHE reintroduction project provenance. If you would email me to describe what you have, I would be grateful. Bill Murphy wilmrph@verizon.net

| Al, the 1895 reproduction is normally referred to as the "1895 New York Sales Room Catalog". The 1937 original is referred to as the "1937 Remington-Parker Salesman's Portfolio". The Larry Baer reproduced 1895 item is occasionally offered and is selling for various prices from about $200. When we get over the latest emergency, it will probably creep toward $300 plus rather rapidly. It was mentioned in recent posts that the 1937 item is selling for prices in excess of $5000.

Bill:
Thanks for the info - I guess I should inquire as to whether the one I saw is still available.
