[Mills Morrison]

Wow! Not me

Strong price considering the issues

[Dan Steingraber]

No, but I’d like to own an A grade.

I sent some questions on the gun the first day it posted but never received a reply from the seller ????? I don't know why when people list something 4 sale they don't respond to questions ! Geez ,all I wanted to know was the serial # !

I had the same issue with the seller, no response to my questions. I'm out if the seller is unresponsive. I think the serial number is 117435.

[Chuck Bishop]

I'll probably be getting a request for a letter soon!

[edgarspencer]

I especially liked the engraving on the bottom of the receiver. The inscription is intriguing. I agree, it was a lot for a gun with serious issues, but.....
I too inquired re: the SN and stock dimensions. Crickets. For the most part, the sellers other listings tells me he doesn't ordinarily deal in this level of gun.

[edgarspencer]

In searching for info on CA Winship, I found he was a wealthy land developer.
He must have liked Parkers, as he had a CHE, inscribed similarly, on the top rib.

I'm right there with you Craig ,No Reply No Buy !!!! In The Parker Story under A Grades the closest # I found was 117433 ??? You could sort of make out a part of it !

Goes along with my theory of why certain people wear dark sunglasses indoors at gun shows, flea markets or general auctions. Over the years I devolved my own theory about them:

1) They are incredibly hung over and don't want anyone to see their eyes
2) They know there will be people at the event that they don't want to see (e.g., owe them money or sold them a bad gun or other item)
3) They have outstanding warrants and know law enforcement will be there.

The best thing about having been in the business for 56 years is that they know that we know that they know who they are.

[Chris Travinski]

I love the trigger plate.

[Jay Oliver]

I wasn't following this one, but when I saw the link to the completed auction, I thought..."I would have liked to have had that one." It is tough with a non-responsive seller, given the dollar amounts.

A very worthy candidate for a restock and restoration work. I will find a an A grade at some point...

[CraigThompson]

Ah yes warms my heart two bull elk and two cows on the floor plate !

I wouldn’t restock that gun if Dudley or Patton thought they could dress up the crack a bit and make it usable .

[Stan Hoover]

Those were my thoughts, a good wood guy would make those cracks disappear.

It’s a shame it wasn’t a beautiful hammer gun, next I would have had to ask Edgar to spot me a loan:violin:

Think if the letter made no mention of removing the safety I’d have that straightened out as well .

[Jim McKee]

I could not see the serial number on the lower tang.
Does anyone know when it was made?
Hopefully, the buyer will order a letter from Chuck!

Who’s this other Edgar you speak of? I’d like to meet him.

[Stan Hoover]

Hahaha, I only know 1 Edgar:rotf::rotf:

All the big money's in PA and NY :rotf:

[Stan Hoover]

All the big money's in PA and NY :rotf:

Maybe NY, but it's pretty scarce here in PA:rolleyes:

Oh well, I had better head out to the tobacco patch to hoe weeds:)

[Mike Koneski]

All the big money's in PA and NY :rotf:

NO! The real big $$ is with the Southern Indiana Cartel! :corn:

I hear the SIC scored another coup on a B grade 12g Parker with a lot of special high end engraving. Maybe someone will bring it next week for Show & Tell?

[Randy G Roberts]

I do believe you fellas have the Northern and Southern chapters confused.

[CraigThompson]

I'll just mind my own buisness and whistle quietly :whistle:

You sure that came out correctly ? Shouldn't it have been more like going out in the weed patch to hoe up tobacco cans full of MONEY :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

That would be the case if I were in VA, not so here in PA:cool:

But my tobacco cans are full of Confederate money not of much use anymore :banghead:I

[Jones Cahill]

and worth a great deal more than face value.

[CraigThompson]

and worth a great deal more than face value.

No I’m afraid not I used to have several $1000 and $500 notes they were worth about $25-40 each . Now the cents notes bring a good bit over face value . I had a bunch of South Carolina notes $.01 , .05 , .10 , .25 and .50 they brought well over face value of course .

Must be that insurance guy in SE IN. No money West of him that I am aware of.
