:rotf:
Rich, I would have to sell most of my humble collection.

Okay, besides the bulge on the left bbl. Why is this gun not selling? Isn't this like one of a kind?
The bulge is an easy fix and it's in a good place. If there's ever a good spot for a bulge.

I think for the majority of the people out there don't have the inside track as to it's provanance and that coupled with spending almost $15K of discretionary income that may or may not be quite so discretionary at the end of the day.

As I said it's just waiting for you.

Even without the provinance. This gun is just beautiful!!! But I'm still broke...

I've herd the barrels are pitted???

Anyone who thinks the gun is not spoken for should try to get G&H to charge their credit card for the cost of the gun. Just saying. That is a pretty good test of sold or not sold, unless you are dealing with Cabela's.

Bill give them a call with your numbers and report bck to us:whistle:
I'd do it myself but all my discretionary funds and funds that dont know there discretionary are spoken for.

This gun isn't being given the respect it deserves, but, then, there is a lot of stuff for sale out there. My opinion is that using a fat checkbook to build a collection is becoming as boring for the check writers as it has been for those who watch them work.

I think someone really needs to handle it and appreciate it for what it is. Look for whatever flaws there might be and dismiss the gun or fall in love with it and strike a deal. After all, it is a Grade 6 and those are few and far between. Grade 6 hammerless Parkers in the right condition bring $20K and more and I think a hammer gun in equal condition is, in many ways, more charming or at least as desirable as a hammerless. This one won't last much longer in my opinion... somebody will fall in love with her and bring her home with him.

You are right Dean, now if I only had a fat checkbook! Little tlc and what a gun she is. I might have it casecolored and Barrels blacked but only a dream. Gotta love those Hammer Guns.

Too bad, no fat check book here. But I'm in love!!

Others may disagree, but I think this gun is priced well below where it ought to be. If a guy could trust his partners, a couple ought to get together, share it for awhile, and, assuming one didn't kill the other, pass it on for a profit.

Well, it seems that my friends Edgar and Dean and I are on the same page. As I implied earlier, I think the gun is probably already spoken for.

This gun has your name all over it Angel!!!

Now all I have to do is come up with 14,500.00 but I would only offer him
13000.00:)

I know where you can find part of it, it's all downhill from there. i'd be happy to get you started after all what are friends for?

It's good to know who your friends are!!:rotf:

Okay, who got her?? Shes' gone!!

As I implied earlier, "she" has been gone for quite a while.

Bill do you have insider info?

Are you "her" new caretaker Bill?

I wanted to be but she was not available. I hope the right person won her! It is an amazing gun!

I tried early this morning also... too late... oh well.

No inside information, just an exceptional gun for a fair price. I'm sure it was gone the first day it appeared.

Did the owner come forward yet?

I guess I started a bit of a furor when I stated that the lockplates were stepped. I got a lot of slaps on the back of my head from many posters. However, gentlemen that they are, they left their posts in place, wrong or not. That is, except for Bruce, who can't stand to be in error, however minor the error. Under the new system, he would have had to contact the webmaster to have his post deleted. Bruce, what is wrong with being wrong? Deleting posts is a very impolite and disrespectful action on internet forums. It confuses the continuity of the thread and only makes you look bad. Why do you continue to do it after years of being chastised for your bad behavior? How about reinserting your post that gave me a good whack for daring to imply that Parker made stepped sideplates? You've done it before and you'll do it again, and many of us are getting a bit tired of it. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to share my knowledge and help people buy good guns. What are you here for?
