Bill, please tell us about the geese on the floorplate... flying, standing or swimming?

I had a CHE with one goose flying on the floorplate... sold it... no regrets... I'm not a fan of Anschutz.

If I had gone with the idea of looking for just Parkers, I would have been disappointed, however I also love nice Winchesters, and there was an over-abundance of those (note to self: Don't break Dean's heart telling him about the pistol gripped 1890). I'm really out of touch with the market prices of these guns, but still managed to find a few nice ones to bring home, in addition to nearly all the guns I took. I did sell a large assortment of collector ammo; enough to pay for one of the Winchesters, and sights for some I had at home.
I think what I enjoyed the most was visiting with new and old Parker friends, especially the banter and joking at Bill Murphy's table.

Oh yes I was informed today tha the overly inflated price on the 8 gauge was $35,000 .

Again thats what I was told from folks who were there .

Different 8 gauge. J.D. Shank's eight gauge GH is probably sitting on a $12000 price tag. Maybe there was another eight gauge at the show but I didn't see it.

No I expect you're correct as my gunsmith buddy is dislexic . He may have misread or inadvertantly seen a price on something else . Or he may very well have exagerated a bit .

Just outta vuriosity what would you say a fair market price would be for the Shank GH 8 gauge . Don't mean a steal or whatever but a fair market price for both buyer and seller ?

Did either 8 gauge gun have steel barrels? Steel versus damascus or twist make at least a 100 percent difference, pricewise.

I have not closely examined J.D. Shank's eight gauge and wouldn't discuss its value here anyhow. Sorry. If someone is interested in an eight gauge Parker, the contact information is in our Journal.
