GH 10 at auction
 

Got to see a GH 10 that will be coming up for auction the next few weeks. Gun was coated with hard grease but looks good and the wood is nice with a straight grip and a badly decomposed pad.Could hardly open gun due to the grease acting more like glue but barrels look ok. Damascus pattern is still pretty strong.Thinking 1200 or so. Close? Barrels were 32".

A 32" GH 10 with a straight grip? Sure, easily $1200... depending on how it cleans up.

I would bid hard on that one. A long, straight-grip 10 would be very cool to have.

Robert ,Best of luck bidding to you ,but I would have to think the " OR SO " Part would be a better guess ! I can't imagine a 10 Ga. GH Grade 32" Barreled gun ,if it is correct and in decent condition not bringing more than $1200.00 at an auction where folks are sitting and bidding against each other ! With that said ,you just never know ! Let us know if you get her ! Russ:corn:

I'm just wondering where the gun came from. I had been in the house many times and guns were never mentioned.He collected tools and was a crazy trout fisherman but never mentioned hunting or shooting in the 10 years I knew him.

Probably just a relic from a bygone era and a long gone relative.

Unless they were later guns and then the EH and NH designation was dropped by Parker Bros. I think somewhere around 1900 or so.

Well,I dunno because it said "G" on the water table and they told me it was a 10.I didn't try a shell and I am not fine tuned enough to tell the difference by sight alone.Serial number was in the 110,000 or 170,000 range. Lots of grease all over the gun and I could not break it down to check for sure.I'll have to go back and clean the gun anyway and will have a look.

Robert, By that serial range it would have been designated a G grade
