ROCK ISLAND AUCTION

[George Lander]

There are several 8 gauge Parkers coming up for sale at the Rock Island Auction the first of next month, I just received my catalogues today. One is an early underlifter.

Best Regards, George

Those look like the ones Puglisi has had for sale

George, when the auction results are in, would you mind posting the selling prices on the eight guages? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

If these were nice guns the prices seem lower than I would expect.

[Brian Dudley]

Prices seem fair. Especially the last two. But i did not look to see what condition they were in.

Just my 2 cents but I am guessing that having 6 Parker 8 gauges in the same auction may have impacted prices.

[CraigThompson]

If I'm not mistaken it seems to me a couple of them had snipped barrels like maybe 1-4 inches removed .

I would think that would make a difference as well .

[Bill Holcombe]

Yes if I am remembering correctly these guns weren't prestine.

[Mills Morrison]

Some of them had condition issues as previously noted and that is also a lot of 8 gauges to dump into one auction.

[Bill Zachow]

Thanks guys for the prices. Did those prices include the buyers premium, if there was one? As an aside, I have a 36" PH with no condition issues with lettered twin ivories and a silvers pad that I am planning to sell, but not at any of those prices.

Buyer's premium was either 17 or 15%, so add that in. I looked these guns over in person, but not with an eye to buy. Several had glaring blemishes, but a couple looked pretty darn good (but I have no idea of their originality). The real jewel of the big guns was an N grade 10 built on a #6 frame...and bought by one of our members. It was a beautiful, unique gun (see the other Rock Island thread).

some of those 8 gas were good buys in my book wish i had enough money i would have bought all of them...ha charlie
