I sure am glad he included the letter! The gun in the pics bears little resemblance to the gun in the letter which bears little resemblance to the gun in the description!

Mills Morrison 11-07-2017 07:48 PM

Some real winners out there on gunbroker

Mark Ray 11-07-2017 10:41 PM

Sellers response......

Serial numbers match in letter and on gun. Letter does indicate gun may have been repaired or reconfigured, but records do not exist.

So, different stock, sling attachments gone, etc

Kirk Potter 11-10-2017 01:46 PM

Another.

I'd like to see some photos of SN 216579, which is the gun in the description. SN 157588 is the gun in the photos. 216579 sounds very nice.

D As in Disaster grade.

Mark Ray 11-11-2017 09:41 AM

Definitely the funniest looking Miller trigger I have ever seen! But I really like the Total Hot Blue look! Makes me think of some REAL high quality doubles, like a nice Savage Fox BSE!

What the hell....

Mills Morrison 11-14-2017 07:15 AM

Amazing

Mark Ray 11-15-2017 12:15 AM

GB 717712403

And they just keep on coming!

Mills Morrison 11-15-2017 04:00 PM

There is a listing on Gunsinternational. Think it is a VH 16. The bore condition is described as "sewer pipe." Yikes. At least the seller is honest

Brian Dudley 11-15-2017 05:27 PM

I never knew that hot bluing adds so much value.

Mark Ray 11-15-2017 05:36 PM

Brian....Maybe you should invest in a Birchwood Casey bluing kit from WalMart...could be a whole new profitable line for you!!!

Mills Morrison 11-15-2017 05:39 PM

Maybe the guy thought it was a Model 21 and saw the big prices they ask for them

Brian Dudley 11-15-2017 05:39 PM

And a buffing wheel.

Tom Jay 11-15-2017 10:30 PM

A new checkering style...
 
Check out GB 717797412

Mills Morrison 11-15-2017 10:35 PM

That is an ugly one for sure

Dean Romig 11-15-2017 10:43 PM

But the screws are virtually untouched!!





.

Mark Ray 11-16-2017 12:07 AM

Oh come on!!! Someone has to bid just to see what the reserve is!

Mills Morrison 11-16-2017 11:51 AM

Ok, I went. Those parts are worth something

Jay Gardner 11-16-2017 12:43 PM

With all that stippling it must have been a special order.

Bill Holcombe 11-16-2017 12:46 PM

how do you look up auctions by number? tried putting them in the advanced search and got nothing.

Russ Jackson 11-16-2017 12:57 PM

Just do a regular search and it should come up !

Kirk Potter 11-16-2017 01:05 PM

I actually bid on that a few months ago, thought about using it for a custom build that I keep thinking of doing.

Bill Holcombe 11-16-2017 01:17 PM

Well, some of the 1911 guys I run with swear stippling gives a better grip.....

thanks, I thought you had to include the GB

Mark Ray 11-16-2017 01:53 PM

You guys don't recognize the limited edition "arts and crafts special"!!??

Everytime I look at it I just think worms got into the wood. So not only is it ugly.....I find it fairly disgusting.

Todd Poer 11-16-2017 04:09 PM

Wow, you gotta love the originality of them trying to cover up a split stock. You can even make out a star pattern over the plug on both sides of stock. To complete the ruse had to do it on forearm.

Definitely could be a project gun to replace wood work if action and barrels check out. Hey Parkers never shoot loose. Right now its not worth much more than a boat paddle. I'd bet you could beat a woodchuck to death with that gun.

Brian Dudley 11-18-2017 09:22 PM

Here is a nice “restoration”. They blued the cocking hook instead of the trigger guard.

I am thinking that with an unknown reserve, none of us can afford it.

Mark Ray 11-18-2017 09:30 PM

I particularly enjoy the exceedingly rare basket weave Remington BDL forearm contrast checkering.

Brian Dudley 11-18-2017 09:40 PM

Well, the barrels are aftermarket and by the looks of it, they used a different style forend lug on it, and then they restrofitted a push button style forend latching with the Parker forend iron. Hey... do what you got to do i guess.

wayne goerres 11-18-2017 10:31 PM

Its a one of a kind.

Bill Holcombe 11-20-2017 06:33 PM

Hate to say it but I found a very unique superposed that tops all of these I believe.

Brian Dudley 11-20-2017 06:41 PM

There is nothing wrong with that browning as compared to many of the other guns discussed here. It is truthfully advertised and pretty appropriately priced.

Bill Holcombe 11-20-2017 07:13 PM

Sorry I was going more for vondition I guess then advertising

Mills Morrison 11-20-2017 07:19 PM

At least the start price is not too bad

Tom Jay 11-20-2017 07:34 PM

The gun description got me at JB Weld. That forend isn’t going anywhere.

Mark Ray 12-10-2017 09:58 PM

OUCH!!
