Jump On this rare Opportunity!
 

I know that I am going to create a mad rush for this gun, especially at this price!! Just hit GB today.

Don't everybody bid at once!:rotf:

I'm surprised the seller didn't throw out a Wells Fargo coach gun claim in the description! What did Barnum say, there's a sucker born every minute?

I went to GB fast to get in a bid but!!!!!!! Bobby

I mostly appreciate the information that there was just a "small run" (79,000) of Parker's produced with Vulcan Steel barrels....I guess 1/3rd of the total Parker production is considered a small run.

Love the guys that "make up facts"

Oh...we must think positive...(-: SXS Ohio

I am not sure which feature is it’s rarest. The bolted head or the cut barrels. Must be both that are driving the price up.

My main criticism is that the bolt in the headstock is not timed correctly.

Almost cowboy ready too!!!!!!

And thanks for sharing

I thought it may be interesting to ask the seller what he thought was rare about a VH with cut barrels and a bolted stock. See the sellers reply below... lol.

“Bless your heart. I see you are new in guns. I recommend you buy a blue book of gun values and start reading there. Go to 40-45 gun shows a year and buy/sell at least 500k on gunbroker and you will start to understand what is rare and what isn't. Please let us know if you have anymore questions”

Guess I am new too

I do remember some southern lady who said her mother told her not to curse

So instead of saying @&$% you.

She was told to respond with something standard

Like

"Bless your heart ". :rotf:

Now THAT'S funny - I don't care who you are, as Larry the Cable Guy would say....

Telling Brian Dudley that he is "new in guns...." Sheesh.

Thanks for sharing that, Brian, and thanks to all for a post to put a smile on your face!

He just thought I was another ignorant buyer who was going to believe his BS. I am upset though that he still did not tell me what was SO rare about it. Since I do have a copy of the Blue Book, and I do attend gun shows. Wait... I don't have a 500+ Gunbroker rating. Only 368. THAT must be it!

He could have said there are no 20.5 inch VH's in the book and that it was specially ordered by Billy the Kid

Or that the dent in the barrel was from Pat Garret's bullet after it perforated Billy!

Guess the seller is hoping P.T. Barnum was right when he said " There's a sucker born every minute "

Never give a sucker an even break or smarten up a chump

"Wow, that gun does not have a Wells Fargo stamp or tag, or maybe a Pinkerton tag on it anywhere does it? It looks like it was a "coach gun". What is the screw in the wood behind the action for? Thanks!'"


Brian, you are a bad influence....couldn't resist sending the seller this question....cant wait to see their sage reply!

:biglaugh:

Me thinks Billy was dead and buried before Vulcan Steel came out.

What I find "rare" about that Parker Bros. is that the screw slots are as nice as they are!!

Too bad there is a repair spot near the hand guard just below the removal lever, or I may have been interested....

Oh Em Gee! The value of my collection just tripled!

Possibly Bro. Dudley could 'splain how the expert wood repair was accomplished with a slotted screw head in both sides of the stock?!?

And so nicely inlet and indexed ;)

Maybe this fella has refined his proprietary technique? Where DID that little screw go anyway? :(

I doubt Brian can do that, according to the seller he is not qualified.

Just like the later slotted hinge pin, one side has a screw with a male thread and the opposing side has a screw with a female thread.

They must be related to this guy!

I got an email from Gunbroker saying the Parker was worth more than a once-over. Guess Gunbroker likes the gun

yup, got that one also! cracks me up!

Why? I don't see the over the top description of the Parker in this Elsie

I'll kick in $1.00, and if there are 1,998 other members interested....we can share it.

Another beauty!!!! A bargain at twice the price....book says it is a 30" stagecoach gun...

The value must go up, the shorter the barrels are.

That one even has the rarer blued locks......:rotf:

The seller says it's a D grade, but it is not

Well

He also says its a "coach" model

That last one made me laugh out loud. Thanks for posting it.

You can't fix stupid!
