RHO has had an AHE .410 of some kind for going on decades. It may be overpriced. To see realistic prices, check the realized prices in the last Julia auction.

Just one man's observation - "POR" is often a good indicator that the item for sale may be overpriced.

The AHE .410 has always had an advertised price, $49,000.

If the RHO AHE 410 is 49K thats not a bad price even for an upgrade. A VHE will run 30K or more add in the cost of engraveing, new wood etc. I like my Fox (CSM) FE for way under half that money:)

Right Bill, I was simply making reference to so many of his and others that have a POR tag.

I had not thought of it that way and not sure if I agree. I have a VHE 28ga 30" barrel, straight grip 95 % CC gun I would not part with for less than US$ 35,000, so a "AIS 410" in the same condition might look like a good deal at US$ 49,000, The problem is original vs upgraded makes a huge difference in resale value . I can sell that original easily but those R&D upgrades sit around a while. JMHO

my 410 stevens at 650 looks good to me....charlie

The posters here obviously have not read the "Prices Realized" price list for Parkers in the Julia auction. Give it a shot, then post.

David you just made my point a VHE for $35K. Look at it this way, IF you could find an AHE 410 (I honestly don't know if Parker ever made one) it would probably cost at least $200K+.

Taking that into consideration lets just say our well heeled sportsman has a spare 50K lying around to invest in a 410. He can buy a brand new Fox (CSM) FE for that. Now he uses that Fox for a couple of years and decides he wants to go to a English gun say a Holland & Holland or a Purdy. He can sell the Fox for about 60% of what he paid for it. Now lets say he has the Parker upgrade AHE 410 for the same 50K. He has a much nicer looking gun cosmetically than he would have with a VHE for less then 2X the price of the VHE. He couldn't take a VHE and turn it into an AHE for the difference in cost. To top it all off he still has a Parker and the Parker will hold value more than the Fox or the English guns. Just my humble opinion and I have a high grade upgrade and wouldn't have been able to afford an original AAHE. It's still a small bore, a beautifull gun and most importantly it's a Parker:bowdown:

The 410 mkt is a small one indeed and its always easier to buy a gun than to sell a gun. IF I had that kind of money for a 410 (or any thing else) I stick to my previous comment and would buy a Fox and pocket the difference.
