[Andrew Sacco]

Does Josh still send a paper copy? I have not received one, but I hear this one is gonna be killer.

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, it's killer.

I flew down to St Michaels last Monday to do a hands on inspection with two friends that are Parker guys. After spending 3 hours handling guns, I came away with nothing in my sights for the live sale. My two friends both plan to bid on a number of the offerings. As you would expect, we were treated very well by the G&D staff. Good luck if you plan to participate or like me just watch the show.

[Josh Loewensteiner]

There’s a bushel basket of Parker’s for review!

[allen newell]

My God!

[Andrew Sacco]

I have my eyeballs on a few things : ) I always seem to get outbid, maybe I'm doing something wrong :shock::shock::eek::eek:

Yeah; you're not bidding high enough :rotf:

[Andrew Sacco]

I thought that might be it Phil but I wasn't sure :rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf:

[Josh Loewensteiner]

The auction is the only place in the world where the person who finishes last wins every time!

[JAMES HALL]

Like well drilling. You start at the top and work your way to the bottom.

[Dean Romig]

Jimmy would know!!

[Craig Larter]

Deciding what to bid on is as hard as deciding what gun to take on a hunting trip, LOL.

[Josh Loewensteiner]

Good luck to everyone today!

[Stephen Hodges]

Just got what I was looking for, thanks Josh:) Won lot 81, not a high price gun but I like it.

[Dylan Rhodes]

I got my items. Mixed bag on hammer prices for sure. You could have had a lot of really great 12 bores for not much. Great auction Josh!

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, Dylan, this auction may have been 12 gauge heaven. However, guns with serious condition, 12 gauge or not, are a seller's dream.

[Mike Koneski]

Just got what I was looking for, thanks Josh:)

Me too!! #WINNING!!

[edgarspencer]

I guess it helps to have a real, paper catalog in your lap.

[David Livesay]

I won the only gun I bid on. What happens next? I assume they will contact me and tell me how much I owe and what FFL I want the gun shipped to. Am I missing anything?

[David Livesay]

Yup, Dylan, this auction may have been 12 gauge heaven. However, guns with serious condition, 12 gauge or not, are a seller's dream.

More of a buyers dream Bill.:)

[Craig Larter]

Me too!! #WINNING!!

Congrats on your new B grade Mr. Larter, it will make a fine addition to your beautiful collection.

[Mike Koneski]

Lot 40 for Mr. Mike?

Lot 31. 32” 16g DHE. F/F. ❤️

Now all my Clays guns from 20 through 8 are 32” or longer.

[Mike Koneski]

Anyone here buy the salesman catalog or the lot full of Parker paper?

[Dylan Rhodes]

Mike, I bought the paper. Are you after something in it? It will generate a lot of duplicates for me

[Mike Koneski]

Mike, I bought the paper. Are you after something in it? It will generate a lot of duplicates for me

I don’t know? I need to know what you have and compare it to what I have. Let me know and we can compare and contrast as they used to say in school.

BTW, that was a good lot of paper you won. ����

[Dylan Rhodes]

I’ll be in touch once I get it all cataloged. No pun intended…

[Arthur Shaffer]

I won 4 items of the 7 I bid on. I had about 20 on watch just for entertainment. This is the first time I won any with my initial bid and I actually won t of the 4 that way. I also had zero problem with missing the bidding with a winning opening bid. I am glad to see they seem to have responded to comments and really improved the system.

I generally buy "off brand" items through this auction. With all the high quality and price items (Parker and otherwise), competeing in that segment has never been in the cards for me. When bidding online, I am generally more of a bargain hunter for my more eclectic areas of interest. I got a few unique items in those areas (SBT's and single shot guns) but I also splurged on a sentimental pick. One of the two guns I bought my father for Father's day the spring after I left college and got a job was an Ithaca Ultraweight 20 ga M37 with a 25" barrel. We were both fans of the M37 smallbores. In high school he had purchased a used16 ga and I had hunted with it for years. He saw the 20g in a store and fell in love with it but couldn't afford it. It weighed right at 5 pounds and carried like a dream. He was a fanatical grouse hunter but never owned a dog. This was pretty common in Eastern KY. He pounded the ruffs with that gun for years. On his death, I had my mother give the M37 to my 7 year old nephew (his older grandson). I always said I would buy another one when I found the right gun. The one in the auction struck me as the one. I paid a ridiculous amount (probably 33% over its true value), but some things you just have to do. My grouse hunting days are over (it's a physically serious sport in KY) but I will enjoy owning it and when I am done it will go to my Dad's only other grandchild so they will both have one to keep.

[Bob Jurewicz]

I didn't win anything.
I really wanted the Repro 20/20/16, but thought $9000 plus the juice and tax was too much.
Great auction Josh!!

[Dave Noreen]

I'm not an L.C. Smith guy but I found Lot #107 that Glahn engraved gun interesting. Would have been a lot more interesting if it had its original barrels.

[CraigThompson]

Lot 31. 32” 16g DHE. F/F. ❤️

Now all my Clays guns from 20 through 8 are 32” or longer.

I handled that gun a bit on Wednesday and it felt good in my hands !

[Bobby Cash]

If money were meant to be held onto,
they would have made it with handles.
Lot 141

Was it you bidding on the gun too?

[Bill Murphy]

OK, who got lot 40, the 34" E Grade from Nebraska? I almost violated my "No more guns, no more Parkers" rule.

That is a nice 34" gun and for $2500 it was a bargain.

[Stan Hoover]

That is a nice 34" gun and for $2500 it was a bargain.

Looked the gun over for a bit with a more knowledgeable Parker member.

It was a an interesting gun for sure, the 34” Acme barrels were not serial numbered to the gun.
The serial number on the barrels was during the same era (1889) but before the start of Acme barrels.


So how when where is anyone’s guess, tell us who D S Brubacker was Bill.

[Bill Murphy]

I didn't locate Brubaker, but I have another Nebraska gun, originally a #6 frame eight gauge, factory rebarrelled in fluid steel ten gauge barrels. I could find no connection between the two guns.

The gun originally had Titanic bbls. I'm good with Acme :) and mismatched SNs don't matter to me as long as the gun breaks clays. I bought it to shoot not display. :cool:

If those Acme bbls are 34" instead of 32", that's a bonus! #WINNING

The barrel flats were stamped, NO SPREADER LOADS, it wouldn’t have worked for you,

Sorry

The gun felt pretty good in my hands , a little build up on the comb and it would be excellent . Wish it had been a 3 frame gun and that the barrels would fit in the NH 3 frame 34” 10 I have . With that setup and a 10 hammer I could Carrey two actions three barrels and that would cover anything I’d shoot .

My gosh Stan, you were right!! Gun arrived today and that’s the first thing I did was check out the bbls. 34” and Acme!! WOO HOO!! #WINNING!!

[Stan Hoover]

Did you check the barrel flats:coffee:

[Mike Koneski]

Yup. And SNs don’t match but it doesn’t matter as the bbls/action fit like a glove.

[Stan Hoover]

Yup. And SNs don’t match but it doesn’t matter as the bbls/action fit like a glove.

That’s not what I was referring to :banghead:

But I realize you’re nervous about the ballgame :cool:

This!

[Mike Koneski]

BWAHAHAHAHA!! In big bold font!! :rotf:

[Stan Hoover]

I really doubt your big hands will fit the manly pistol grip since they’re more accustomed to sissy straight grips:rotf:

Let me know when reality sets in:rolleyes:

[Mike Koneski]

Grip it and rip it Brother!!

[Dave Noreen]

I see Lot # 202 the CEO-Grade Remington is already for sale by Puglisi --

[Ed Blake]

Double your money

[Bill Murphy]

If the "shotgun dealers" didn't bid at Guyette and Deeter, the guns would all sell for nothing. We should be grateful for the Puglisis and Galazans for bidding.

Yes, our buddies like the Pugster and Tony G. are essential players helping to maintain the rheological properties of the fine and not-so-fine firearms market(s). Like soybean futures, they and their ilk help to shape a market that no one has any idea when, how high, or how low, it will go. They and others have wound up with "long ball' purchases ultimately being listed at "make offer" endpoints. The process often results in quizzical descriptive terminologies as, "probably factory redone by..', and "excellent as originally refinished by..." Auction previews attended live prove to be the great leveler in the end.

[Bill Murphy]

Whatever Kevin said... Thanks.
