ROCK ISLAND AUCTION RESULTS
The verdicts in on RIA'S auction last weekend, Twelve Parkes were offered & all sold. Fair prices IMO but a few surprises. They are as follows:
Lot #706 20 gauge DHE Winchester re-pro cased $ 4,600.00 Lot #718 16 gauge Trojan 1,265.00 Lot #1829 28 gauge refinished AH 28 gauge 34,500.00 Lot #1835 20 gauge BHE Winchester re-pro cased 9,775.00 Lot #1836 28 gauge DHE Winchester re-pro cased (go figure) 7,475.00 Lot #3445 12 gauge Grade 1 Lifter Hammer w/ case 5,175.00 Lot #3446 10 gauge Grade 3 Hammergun 2-bbl set w/ letter 2,587.00 Lot #3447 12 gauge VH 1,380.00 Lot #3468 12 gauge BH live bird gun refinished (The one I wanted) 2,875.00 Lot #3469 12 gauge GH Damascus (I wish I'd bid on this one) 862.50 Lot #3472 12 gauge VH 1,265.00 Lot #3471 12 gauge VH 1,150.00 In my opinion #3446, #3468 & #3469 went below what they were worth.

So, George, why couldn't you see paying $2900 for a BH? I guess I'll have to look at the catalog.

LOT 1823 PARKER REPRO 28 Ga
Sometimes I have seen wealthy people figure that the gun is here, it fits, and I dont have to look anymore. The extra money paid in their mind is made up on other deals to come. There are several Gundealers that always get more for their Parkers because they stroke their buyers ego I guess. PDD |
$4600 for a Repro 20?? Am I missing something? Was it a 2-bbl set or a custom gun??? The GH for $862 was a steal I'd say. Pretty nice and seemingly unmolested gun.
|
I agree with Rich, $4600 for a repro 20? I don't get it.
|
Anyone know what the parker snow musket brought? I know more than I bid!

What was so special about #3445? Was it in extremely high condition? The 10 ga hammer gun with two sets of bbls was a steal.
|
Rich, 3445 was a grade 3, I looked it up and also was fairly high condition

Hmm; I had a whole post that disappeared... The Repro20 is a 2-bbl set so makes some sense... I guess. The B grade is a bad refinish with an oddly pinned and sanded stock and a blued receiver and seemed pretty worn prior to refinish.. too bad.. still worth more than the hammer price. The G grade was the steal of the bunch at $862. Nice gun and seemingly unmollested. The Repro28 is baffling in the extreme.. single trigger no less. guess I should start being nicer to mine! The hammer gun with 2bbls.... someone did good on that one I'd say. The last V grade listed is a Trojan. As for 3445... see pics. THIS they call a grade 1??? Who does the descriptions? Milky the Clown??? Who? I'd have gleefully paid the hammer price for this gun. What a beauty! How often is a hammer screw that well regulated? The only visible wear is on the lifter. The stock teardrop looks like it's never had a grubby thumb wrapped around it.

Grade 3 in my opinion. What a STEAL!!
|
It was a grade 3 not a grade 1 AND it was a steal. What a nice gun. So many guns so few dollars:crying:
|
Roger that Rich. I've been hankering for a nice 12ga lifter and would have been all over that one for that price... or a fair bit more. That gun would end just about anyones search for a nice lifter....
