God bless her and her father. I hope this gun brings every dollar that it is worth.
It may not be as beautiful to look at as most AAH's but it is every bit as rare and unique as any of them.

The auction closed $16,625.00. I don't know whether to think that the price was fair or it was a bargain.

Well Somebody thought it was a fair price and a couple of others were right behind him.
An awful lot of Parker people go to that website to find a "diamond" in a big mine full of lumps of coal. Somebody got lucky on this one.

It's worth what it sold for but my guess was 20K. Very cool gun.

The first thought I had when seeing the photos of this gun were it looks like an Amish A Grade. But it still exudes the character and soulfulness of a high grade Parker. Congrats to the new owner! I would love to have had it.

Not all Grade 7 guns had engine turned flat surfaces. I don't know why, because I have not seen a Parker Brothers order with any mention of this feature.

About six weeks I took a big chunk of my " Gun Money " and bought a fairly new High Lift / Back Hoe combination or I would have given " Sold Cheap " a few more bids to chase ! I don't know why but I really liked this gun ,just bad timing for me ! Congrats to the new buyer ,hopefully he is one of us !!!!!!!!:)

Russ, I figured that this gun would heat you up if it were a grouse gun. Of course, a grouse gun would be a bit higher up on the bidding scale.

Bill ,Isn't this AAH just a wonderful gun , I seem to remember past discussions with you that you also like the unusual ! I would like to read the letter on it ,I wonder if it was shipped with the Pad instead of the usual Skeleton plate ?

I doubt that the pad would show up in the order. However, the leather covering is from way back.
