Garry, when Bill sells off his collection there will be such a glut of Parkers on the market that it will devalue every Parker we own!

Of that, Mountain Mike, I have no doubt. But if we could only look at the photos...

Mike, I'm proud to say that my 64 year Parker accumulation is a shooting collection with quite a spattering of lesser condition specimens. John, Shelly was a great friend and I guess I won't be selling the SAA single any time soon unless I can afford one of his .410s.

I Bill and Linda have any grand or great-grand kids, I'm sure they could post photos for him.

Our local gun shop just consigned 14 of them. I am guessing someone is unloading an estate. There was also some Bakers, Fox and many other assorted SxS's brought in including an unfired Holland & Holland Royal with a tiny asking price of only $127,000 CDN.

There is one guy on Gunbroker that has thousands of desireable doubles that are all overpriced and I have never seen him sell one. Gunsinternational is the same. There are well known dealers I know who have enormous numbers of desireable classics who I also believe sell very few guns. I have made the same comment before, but I think it applies more to overpriced, intransigent dealers than to actual collectors.

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I have a thingy and believe it's worth at $10k and publish a FS ad.

The market offers $2k.......

It's worth $2k.
