There were three or four Parker's that were tied up in an estate dispute and all bids were cancelled on them. You can go to the Julia site and see the explanation, and also make offers on some of the guns in the auction that did not sale.

There has been a pattern in auction sales of fine art that is similar to Julia's results which is that highly supported sales of well known art have been supported by slight of hand and lesser known works have taken it on the chin. The prices achieved have been uneven and reflect the gut feelings of the buying public. Buyers are not confident. This goes along with all the other blooming circumstances brought on by bad government and slick markets. David

Anyone know condition of the repr's or if any were above average or desirable configs? The numbers look low to me??? Maybe working guns that were used?? thanks all SXS ohio

The Lefever 8 , a rather nice looking Smith Quality 2 10 gauge and the 20 gauge Parker duckers were the only ones there that really peaked my intrest !

The sheer number of 'upgrades' in this auction surprised me. There were actually very few 'normal' Parkers in this auction -either high grades, repros, or upgrades.
