Annie Oakley / Parker
 

Well, the PGCA made national news....at least a research letter did:

Interesting. I wonder if that is the highest price ever paid for a Damascus barreled shotgun?

thanks for the post

I do always get a kick out of Annie Oakley being referred to as an "old west" figure

she was from Ohio

I saw this on my MSN home page. Positive publicity for guns and Parker.

Certainly a case where provenance mattered, a lot!

Of course, her charm bracelet sold for almost as much! Go figure....

I believe this is the gun we had at an annual meeting one year.

Yup, we all saw it at dinner in Wilmington, Ohio. It was a very nice presentation. I missed it in the HA catalog.

Check this out. Photos of the real old west

This was the gun the family said would "never be sold". I always wondered when it would come to market. I've handled this gun at their home, Muderlak and I photographed it several years before his death.
