JAMES JULIA AUCTION OCTOBER 7-9, 2014
 
A whole bunch of really nice Parkers are coming to auction next week at James Julia's including a "Scarce 20 gauge BHE and a rare 28 gauge DHE". The auction begins on October 7 and runs through October 9th. Quite a number of small gauge, 20, 28 & .410 guns are included. Several are restored, upgraded & reproduction guns, but there are a number that are shown as "high original condition" guns. Estimated prices seem to reflect the economic times that we are presently in. Ten years ago I believe that the estimates on some would be a bit higher. There is also one lot (# 2458) of @ 30 Parker Bros. Gun Company advertising items. Ithaca and Browning guns are also well represented. I wish I had some dough! :crying:

Best Regards, George

I like the Lefever 8 gauge. Like you say, I wish I had some dough. The only thing I can afford is the catalog:banghead:

I expect to be there early on the 8th. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

...ditto on the dough.

Catalog #2 is a collector item itself. I hope some of you who attend can take some pics and post them.

Just ordered Catalog 2. The lady thought I wanted to place an absentee bid and I had a good mind to risk divorce and financial ruin and bid on the Lefever 8

I agree that the JJ Vol. Two is well worth a look. I am bidding on a few of the less pricy Parkers.

Winchester 21 collectors must be mortgaging their houses and dipping into their family's trust funds to get some of the astounding Bill Phifer collection that is up for sale...

Speaking of auctions, did a PGCA member bag this great-looking Parker DH Damascus 12
that sold (no surprise) for $2500 on the first day? I left two emails and a phone message, but it was gone. Serves me right for living on the West Coast. See:

I see that Josh Loewensteiner has clicked on the 'thumbs up' (Thanks) button on most of the posts on this thread. For those of you who may not be aware, Josh works for James D. Julia consigning firearms, either individually or whole collections or estates acting as a sales agent.

Good for Josh! I'm glad that they finally have someone that is knowledgable about Parkers in particular and double guns in general. The also have John Sexton for Civil War artifacts & memorabilia. He's, probably, the best in the country on these.

Best Regards, George

I got a chance to stop by there yesterday on my way back from grouse hunting. They were open for viewing. Pretty unbelievable the amount of fine guns they have. The even had Al Capone's pocket watch.

Volume 2 of the catalog came this weekend. Wow! At first, I thought they had sent me all three volumes, it was so thick. Gun porn at its finest
