Anyone get anything on the auction today? Gary

[David Livesay]

I bid on 4 different guns but walked away empty handed. A lot of the guns went for quite a bit more than the estimates.

[Ed Blake]

I bid one one gun but stopped at my threshold of pain. Someone else wanted more than me. Yes, some guns went way beyond their estimates. Others, not so much.

[CraigThompson]

Oh yeah I got an A-1 Special , NOT !!!!! That musta been a dream :rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Craig Larter]

Nothing for me except a check for my consignments, guns I decided to sell to upgrade.

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Anybody here get the DH12, last Damascus Parker produced?

[Louis Parker]

I tried, but failed. Wish I had bought it at the Southern last year. Adding the rake, etc., it went for substantially more than.

You didn't have to wait 40 days to get paid??

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Louis, that gun was not at the Southern last year, was in my gunsafe( belonged to my wife's uncle).
Do you happen to know what it went for approximately.

[Craig Larter]

Reggie: No I have to wait 45 days like everyone.

[Garry L Gordon]

$12k? As I recall. With BP.

That there Parker was hard to look away from, it was easy on the eyes:shock:

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

I ended up with three Lot349 ,351,135 Gary

It hammered at $10K.

[Reggie Bishop]

I was very surprised at the selling prices of the 28 gauge Parker Reproductions. Two barrel set sold for $9,600 and single barrel also sold for $9,600. The latter was a double trigger gun.

[David Livesay]

I was surprised that lot #27- .410 VHE sold for $66,000 and
lot #28- .410 and 12 ga. VHE sold for $ 33,000

[David Safris]

Some very impressive prices - also on the Brownings I was watching. I gave up short on the VH 20 gauge .. so, if anyone has a 'very nice' VH 20 ..

[John Davis]

Gary, did you get the Smith Eagle grade SBT?

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Yes John, It has a couple issues but can be fixed pretty easy, Look forward to shooting it, Gary

[Bill Murphy]

I only bid on one item, got outbid by $20,000. My computer was smoking.

[John Davis]

Yes John, It has a couple issues but can be fixed pretty easy, Look forward to shooting it, Gary

I’m interested to know if the choke on that gun is really .009. I think you will enjoy it, looked like a really nice one.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

John when I get the gun I will check it and let you know, Gary

[Kevin McCormack]

I lusted mightily after Lot 10, the 30" DHE 28 ga. with RAILBIRDS!!! engraved all over, but I was a little short (by c. $35K) and the Kelly Blue Book on my RAV 4 Toyota would have still put me shy of the balance. To soothe my angst, I went back and handled it while no one was around during the preview. Wes Dillon, my auctioneering buddy of 35 years or so, walked in on me just as I shouldered it for the 17th time and said it looked great on me!

[Kevin McCormack]

Oh yeah I got an A-1 Special , NOT !!!!! That musta been a dream :rotf::rotf::rotf:

That gun alone was worth the drive over to see it in hand.

[Kevin McCormack]

I was surprised that lot #27- .410 VHE sold for $66,000 and
lot #28- .410 and 12 ga. VHE sold for $ 33,000

The .410 VHE was in much better condition and had a higher level of finish; the 12 and .410 of Lot 28, not so much. But I thought the combination of the two at the hammer price was a good deal, especially if you never owned a .410 and always wanted one. Both were well used but definitely not abused.

[Bill Murphy]

Josh, Wes, and the G&D staff were wonderful hosts and should be congratulated on a great auction. Those who missed out on their bids, myself included, will remember this auction for months to come.

[Dean Romig]

…Years!

I had wanted to go Wednesday to see the A-1 the DHE 28 , the AH 10 all of Jerry Smith’s pieces , the matched pair of Brit 10’s and of all things the Francotte three barrel 12 . But other things kept me from going .

[Dean Romig]

Priorities Craig, priorities!

I won a gun and a beautiful watercolor while eating stuffed hushpuppies in Charleston at Fleets Landing. Generally I dislike technology, but it worked well this day.

(But no single trigger guns allowed at my house :))

Harold,

I would like to let you know I won the auction for the DH12. I was actually alerted to this gun by Josh. It fits in real nice with 2 other parkers I have (that Josh sold me). The last Damascus C grade (TPS pg. 718) & the last Damascus B grade. Yes, I'm a sucker for Damascus.
I usually try to get Parkers I am willing to shoot, either birds or clays(and I shoot my Damascus Parkers the most), but when this gun came up for sale I couldn't resist.

Louis, I got to meet you at the 2023 Vintagers At Warrington. You were sitting at my tent when my brother and I showed up. I'm on the right(your left).132048

Warrington has since gone out of business and I was able to buy several of their MEC traps to set up a 5 stand on the farm. Gonna get those long barrel Parkers out and stretch their legs.

[Stan Hoover]

Congratulations Jim,

You acquired a special one, I found that one hard to resist!

I really thought about it, but I would have almost felt guilty shooting it since it appeared so close to unfired:rolleyes:

If it doesn’t have cool Damascus barrels of some flavor, it isn’t no fun to shoot!

My motto and I’m sticking to it:)

[Harold Lee Pickens]

Congrats Jim, it is a fine gun, as stated earlier, it was in my gun safe for over a year. I could have had it but assured my wife's cousin that it could bring more than I wanted to pay, and like you said, would probably never shoot it.
Stan, I had that gun at Rock Mtn in July of 23, the year you plugged the leak in My truck tire. I showed it to a few people, Jeff Kuss, Randy, Frank Sebro to get their opinion on it, don't know if you saw it

[Mike Koneski]

Don’t tell Sammy but I got the A1S Double Trap. :eek::crying::whistle:

[Tommy Neely]

Anyone have the final price tag for Lot 10, DHE 28 ga. 30” barrels?

Helluva gun Harold. Congrats Jim, you're gonna like it.

That gun was lot # 12 and went for $12,000.

[Mike Koneski]

I asked Josh today what the auction grossed. He said $3.1 million. Not too shabby!! :whistle: :bowdown:

[William Woods]

That gun was lot # 12 and went for $12,000.

Mike, I think lot #12 was a DHE 16GA. Correct me if I am wrong.

I was interested in that one but $7200.00 was too steep for the condition it was in for me.

I would like to know what the buyer is going to do with that one. I would like to see it if it is restored.

Folks go a bit nuts over 0 frame 16s lately, don’t you think?

[William Woods]

Folks go a bit nuts over 0 frame 16s lately, don’t you think?

It had everything I wanted in one, but the price. I would have had to have a longer stock made. That additional cost would have had me in to deep.

Funny, in my talk with Josh prior to the auction, he had said, "Well, it's not like it's a $7K gun."

0 frame hype. We’ve done this.

Hype? Such talk is shenanigans!

[Dean Romig]

As far back as I can remember, and I’ve been a member for 25 years, folks have always been a bit nuts over 0-frame 16s…. Heck, I’ve bought 6 or 7 hammerguns and as many hammerless 0-frame 16s and still have several. Aside from a 28 gauge I find the 0-frame 16 to be just about as nice to handle and shoot.

Omg those little girly guns don’t hold a candle to a nice light six frame thirty four inch 8 gauge . NOT ! I think I picked up a rather decent VHE 12 gauge two frame thirty two inch gun to be my light gun now . All my bs aside I’m kinda partial to a 1 frame 16 gauge 26” straight stocked skeet gun in my present acccumulation .

[Dean Romig]

I have a Trojan 16 on the 1-frame with 26" barrels that is about as sweet handling a gun as any 0-frame I've ever had.

[Clark McCombe]

My first Parker - a 16 Trojan 28” - And still the best - super glued stock and all :)

[allen newell]

Dean, my Trojan 20 with 26 inch barrels is a joy to shoot

[Dean Romig]

Dean, my Trojan 20 with 26 inch barrels is a joy to shoot

I have a Trojan 20 too Allen and it’s a sweetheart to shoot.
I bought it from our good Pennsylvania friend and PGCA member Russ Jackson.

[Bill Murphy]

My 20 gauge Trojan with 30" barrels is also a joy to shoot.

[Craig Larter]

Any forum users that were buyers at the G&D auction? Nothing for me but I did sell 3 Parkers and one Fox, one Parker didn't make my reserve which is fine. I have some money in my pocket for the Southern.

[Dean Romig]

My 20 gauge Trojan with 30" barrels is also a joy to shoot.


Hmmm… does the PGCA Research Letter support those barrels Bill?

[Bill Murphy]

My stock answer, my friend: Yup.
