Parker Trap Gun At Auction
 

The ad says fresh to market but I am fairly certain(if memory serves) this is the gun that was featured in an article in double gun journal around 2002 that sold at an auction in Las Vegas fetching a then Parker Gun auction record of over $100,000. I may still have the issue of dgj it was featured in.

Lovely piece .

It was displayed at one of our PGCA get togethers at that time in conjunction with an Ohio Gun Collector's Association show.

First time I ever saw it was at the Southern well over a decade ago. I have seen it a few times since then. It is a truly remarkable Parker and it’s appearance is deceiving. You would think it’s a 8 1/2 lb gun but it feels like wand in the hand.

Double Gun Journal Article
 

In the description of the gun it says:

This gun was featured in a full length Double Gun Journal Article authored and photographed by William Headrick in the Autumn 2007 issue pages 84-95.

Larry, that description in the catalog was in error, an error that I corrected in an earlier post. Check it out. The correct DGJ article is the one I mentioned in this post.

Bill is correct. Worth looking up if for no other reason than seeing Bill Headrick's incomparable photographs.

I was in regular correspondence with Bill in those years and after every issue of DGJ came out I'd have to go through a period of him bitching about how Cote's printers screwed up his Kodachromes and how much better Precision Shooting did with his work.
