Best Regards, George

I was a phone bidder, and while waiting for the gun I wanted to come up, the woman from Julia's told me the TR Gun sold to a Phone Bidder ... Hmmmm ... The story has the familiar ring of the way the "Czar Gun" was sold ... Which leads me to speculate that the $862,500.00 TR Gun may be on its way to Duluth soon ... Just a wild guess ... For what little it's worth.

The last time I looked at Puglisi's website, all of his Parker Hammer Guns were gone. I wonder if he had them on consignment with Julia's? That would be a good way to move them along quickly.

Mark,

Maybe to finance the TR Fox...

Scuttlebutt starts with ideas such as this!

Mark ... You're right, I hadn't visited the Puglisi site for over a week, but like you said, there's not a single Parker hammer gun on Puglisi's website ... I wonder what's up with that ?

There are a lot of collectors out there who could easily afford such a gun. It could be any of them or it could be a museum. Museums can't possibly depend on 'donations' alone and most of the larger ones like the National Firearms Museum (home of the three Parker Invincibles) and the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody WY. receive handsome endowments in order that they be able to acquire such artifacts.

The National Firearms Museum missed a bet if they didn't buy the TR gun to go in with other TR artifacts.

We shall see...

Gosh, it begs the question on what that $34,500 gavel price of the Remington/Galazan 28-ga. AAHE will do to future sales at the $50,000 retail and reported year long wait to obtain one?

Dean Romig 10-06-2010 12:41 PM

The good ol' law of "Supply and Demand" will answer that question Greg.

Jared Valeski 10-06-2010 05:59 PM

Anyone have the hammer prices of the reproductions?
