I have his SAA single trap. I'm not real interested in selling, but I'm 78 years old, so who knows.

Clean or “stubborn,” I hope you’re past 90 before you consider selling.

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! :bowdown:

Pls let me know if you change your mind. Shelly was a client and I loved talking with him about Parkers

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

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. :rotf::rotf::rotf:

What do you ''Mean'', there is a Glut of them ''Now'', today
Guns International alone has over 550 of them. Add all the other sites together
and heaven knows how many are out their ''For Sale''

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.

You are a spring chicken Bill. I'm 80 and feeling top drawer. Stopped shooting a few years ago, but I'm getting back into it. Not dead yet and loving life! I also own a SBT. I haven't shot it for sometime because I've been ill, but I'm all healed up and rar'n to go!

Every day is a good day when you can shoot and enjoy the company of friends, regardless of age, I am 83 and love a good cigar and a Parker shotgun and afterwards a little nip of good bourbon, when I get too old to shoot shotguns, I might be in a pine box somewhere, with the ashes of some good dogs.
