Gary

I heard about an intresting 20 gauge lifter I think Grade 3 that was sold at the Southern this year . That might make a nice center piece to the display :whistle:

Please do!, Parker only made 15 lifter 20 gauge hammer guns, in all grades and only around 6-7 have come to light, so far. I had two twenty gauge lifters at the HOF banquet, A grade 3, and an A grade, and I sure did not sell either, Gary

That one I did see, also David D. saw it, it was a shooter but had a lot of wear, I made an offer and he came back at three times my price so I said thank you for letting me look at it. Both David and I thought my price was about right.

I was told the guy that had the 16 also had a 20 gauge lifter and that the 20 gauge was sold but then the owner got a bit price happy with the 16 .

He told me that the 16 was the only gun he brought with him. Who knows but the price he wanted on the 16 ga was crazy money...:eek:

I was told he wanted something in the 20G neighborhood for the 16 . The fellow that told me that also said the barrels were suspect as to whether they were shoot able any longer .

Barrels were shootable, it was nice shooter, you are a little high on the asking price but not by much...:rolleyes:
