Reproduction Prices
 

Jared,

I also took the Reproduction prices which in general were good.

#1193 A1S 20ga; $11500
#1194 DHE 28ga; $13,000
#1195 DHE 28ga; $7500?
#1196 DHE 28ga; $3600
#1197 DHE 20ga; $4000
#1198 DHE 20ga; $3250

However the best deal of the day was the MIG 21 - which is still airworthy for $20,000. (I know it is not a Parker but the cockpit is big enough to hold one)

Thanks Mike.

The prices that the reproductions brought seem in line with what I've been seeing elsewhere especially when the buyer's premium is tacked on.

I looked at the MIG pictures as much as I did the TR Fox. 20K seems cheap. However, it would be more difficult to hide the MIG from my wife compared to another side by side...

I missed the auction. What was lot #1194 DHE 28ga. for $13,000 exactly? Three barrel set?

Thank you,
Bill

That would be a good deal in anybody's book. If you were to buy a couple of 28 ga. Repros for $4K each and a .410 Repro at $5K you'd be right there but I don't think you could.... even if Winchester made a .410 by itself.

For those unfamiliar with Repro small gauge guns, the beavertail on a .410 barrel set is about as rare as rare gets in the Repro world if it is factory. Repro collectors almost always hit the jackpot in auctions where lots of original double guns are sold. The Repros are not looked at as serious guns in these auctions and are sold at less than retail in many cases. Yes, in many cases, but not all.

Speaking of .410 Repros...do the barrels have the same stepped down contour to save weight as the originals have?

The ones I've seen don't.

No, they don't have the deep step from the barrel flats that the originals had.
