Well hell, Did that 410 repo sell at 29000 ? How many did they make? I am not a repo man but the gun sounds interesting, Bill I was in Cantilly when I got to see the AHE 410 made by Parker Bros I believe it is the only one! It was under a table and it was not in high condition but! I was told the owner paid 115000 for it. It was beautiful in it's day. Gary

Who had the .410 AHE under the table? I haven't heard about it since it sold at auction.

I looked at the link for the BHE 0000 frame .410 Repro. The pictures of the BHE are still there, but the description has been changed to a "Custom engraved 3 barrel set A-1 Special". I wonder where the BHE is? Gary, do you have some information that it was sold for $29,000? There is no evidence of a 3 barrel A-1 Special except in the description. I think this fellow has lost track of what he really has.

Bill,
When we we in Chantily for the PGCA meeting and I had the skeet guns displayed, the man that bought the gun came up to me and we talked for about an hour or so, he wanted to use some of my old shell boxes and catalogs for a photo shoot with that 410. He did come up to the suite that evening with his son but he was very tight lipped about the gun.

- Tight lipped- golly gee whiz, I wonder why so!! Did he have an armed bodyguard with him? If he left an AHE .410, no matter the condition or number of barrels sets in a hotel room unguarded- not a wise move. A friend of a friend told me the BATF is starting to monitor the "high-end" gun shows and events such as "Da Southern", "The Vintagers" etc- incognito I should guess, but as I trust the BATF like i trust either the SEC, IRS or Bernie Madoff's family-- best to beware, or as Col. Day phrased it- Wary!!:bigbye::bigbye:

Too Late! It is up to $55,000 now!

I guess calling a BHE and A1-Special is worth quite a lot!

And he still has the picture of the BHE in the ad. He's just having fun.

Bump the price significantly and it will often sell quickly.

Some people just don't think they are getting something of value unless they pay a lot :shock:
haha! i love the the good natured banter & outlook on these auction prices but i am very surprised the BHE 410 sold so CHEAP??
