Double Gun magazine

[Paul Harm]

At the same show I also picked up for $20 about 30 of the DG magazines - one was the first issuse and third. Also all the ones with Sherman Bells articles on testing the damascus barrels. I'll have some good reading for the next year. I'm not sure but think his 10ga loads are in there somewhere. Also got a bag of Remington high brass shells - traded some Remington STSs. I think the high brass looks cool, although my grabber only resizes half the brass. Doesn't matter as the shells aren't too big - they must have been shot in a double because if shot in a auto they would have expanded. Last night we were shooting skeet under the lights and I got to station 7 double shooting black powder before I dropped one. It was the second one on the double and because of the smoke I didn't see it untill it was too late. Oh well, maybe someday I'll get a straight shooting smoke.

30 DGJ's that includes the Premier Issue for $20? That's a great score! Within the past week or so a Vol. 1 Issue 1 that I was watching went for $87 on eBay.

There was a re-issue of the Premier Edition. I've forgotten how to tell the original from the re-issue, but in any event, you done good!

[Rick Losey]

At that price you have enough room to get the index so that you can look up the articles you need.

I'm a charter subscriber and have two Premier Issues, after I got the initial issue I figured it would become a collectible, so I requested another copy. One is personalized "For Greg Baehman Daniel Philip Cote'". The other is signed and numbered "Daniel Philip Cote' 958/2000", but I don't remember which is which either.:banghead:

Most single issues auction for about $10 each but the premier issue has always commanded a high value since the publisher ran out.

:shock:Really, $10/issue!:whistle:

[Rich Anderson]

I think youl'd be hard pressed to find any issue for $10. I once saw the first issue sell for $250. I have them all as I bought out a collection some years ago and sold off the duplicates which paid for what I needed. It's fun and educational to go to the back issues and see what our Parkers sold for say 5 years ago let alone 10+ years ago.

Yes, at least that.

I see that Vol. 1 Issues 1,2,3 & 4 as well as a complete Vol. 2 have recently been listed on eBay. These have been the two toughest Volumes to acquire for non-charter subscribers and those that didn't get them back in the day.

All I see is "For My Mother and Father" and it's signed below that by Mr. Cote. I can't read it, but there's quite a long signature. There's 64 in all plus the two indexes. I've been getting the DGJ for about four years and so had Dave, so I already have some, but there's quite a few I don't have.

I love my issues of DGJ and have been a subscriber for well over a decade. Can there be a more beautiful magazine? I doubt it. I constantly re-read them and take an afternoon off to read when a new issue arrives. I'd pay $10 for an old issue in a heart beat.

[Jack Kuzepski]

The re-issue of Vol 1 #1 has "2nd Printing" or something like that on the title page.

I have all of the issues and a while back started rereading them again from the beginning. Right now I'm on Volume 15 #1.

In my August 2012 issue there is an advertisement for a reprint of the first issue for $49 a pop.
