Head Scratcher.....
 

Sometimes, you just see an Auction on GB that makes you chuckle, just a little bit.....

From 32" to 28"... I wonder how short those barrels are today?

For a mere $5K, you can measure for yourself..... Assuming you don't get out bid.....:cool:

Maybe he by accident put two to many zeros in the price :whistle:

"no reserve" but $5000 opening bid. how exactly does that work?

Minimum bid is $5000, if no one out bids you, it's yours.... :D In essence, the seller is openly telling you what the reserve price is by starting at the minimum they will accept for it. :rolleyes:

Looks like barrels are 18.5. Barely legal

My thought also Mills

Would make a nice lamp!

Best compared with a Herter's genuine fruitcake

That is wild!

The same seller has a couple of model-21's listed on GB with the same lofty descriptions & prices on guns with similar issues to this Parker.

Just another example of a fishing expedition looking for that uninformed fish to take the bait. In this case it may be an uninformed dealer who took the bait:shock::rotf:

Take a look at this stunning gentleman's SxS

I often find myself bewildered how this type of seller can end up with an average review of A+ and only one negative remark in the past 12 months? The entire description is hearsay beyond the stated factual information of the PGCA letter; and as Paul pointed out, plenty of their listings are overpriced hearsay. I suppose none of it is verifiably false, but surely none of it is verifiably true. The assessment of condition is a bit of a stretch to say the least....

The good reviews are probably from his other accounts

The gun is on consignment by a retired bank robber.

But he spins a nice yarn.

We can only hope that the seller is "one of a kind".... :p

Nothing like having a gaping crack in the wrist to add authenticity.... :D

There's one born every minute.....
