I had a grade 2 sent to me several years ago. I returned it as it didn't have enough condition for the price.

Come on, Jeff. It's no negative comment about a person or dealer to say you sent a gun back. At least you got your money back. Who was it? By the way, when are you going to sell me....Oh, never mind.

21 of the trap guns ordered under #14744 in 1882 were grade 2 guns, 9 12 gauges and 12 10 gauges. The 12s listed for $80 (net $50.01 after discount), and the 10s, $85 (net $53.14).

In my opinion, the deep discounts Parker Brothers offered their dealers were the downfall of their gun business.

Bill, I wonder what the percentage the dealers marked the guns up to the general public and I guess that some of these guns had been ordered and some for stock, but again I don't see any body ordering these long barrel guns for stock, Folsom had to advertise these special Parker guns, Love to see some of that advertisment Gary

My only Folsom catalog is from the twenties and has nothing like that in it. I searched la84foundation.com and found nothing either. We need Folsom catalogs from around the turn of the century.

I've tryed to buy the early catalogs, but there seems to be a high collector demand for them. They can get very expensive.

Jeff, Where did you find any for sale? I have not seen any anywhere Thanks Gary

A Pennsylvania auction had a prime little collection of Folsom catalogs a few months ago. I was nosing a shotgun and let the paper go to another bidder.

I see them on ebay quite often.
