Guyette and Deeter Auction February 10, 2024
 

The catalog appeared on my email today. I read the catalog cover to cover. What's wrong with me? I already own a shotgun.

I was looking for a 34" 20 gauge single barrel trap in the catalogue. Nothing there. :crying:

Looks like lots of nice guns. Nice job Josh!

I just read through the past two issues again yesterday :rolleyes:!

Josh already has a date for the September auction.

Does his wife know?

Always thinking out of the box aren't you?

I saw three on there that are intresting of course one of them is outside of my price range .

We always say if you know how many you have, you don’t have enough!!!

Josh, any idea when the hard copies of the February catalog will be mailed?

The catalogs will start mailing early this week.

Just received my copy this morning.
Enjoyed the eye candy with my lunch at noon as I pored through the catalog and dog-eared a couple.
Thanks Josh.

Got mine in the morning mail !!! Thank You Josh !!!!:)

Got mine this AM. Beautiful production! Thanks Josh...

Haven't gotten mine yet. My mailman is a gun guy. I'm wondering...

Thank you for the catalog Josh. Very nice

I received mine today and I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many really fine Parkers in it.

Thank You Josh!!

The catalog made it to Arizona today. Another wonderful catalog listing many interesting items. That canoe is too cool! Thank you very much Josh.

I got mine today. Fantastic production.

I see there are 4 Jim Sprankle decoys listed. I knew Jim when he lived in Conklin, NY and set up at the Clayton (NY) Decoy and Wildlife Art Show. I have 3 of his decoys - a Blue Wing Teal pair and a miniature Canvasback Drake that he gave me.

Thank you, Josh.

Team Tennessee received a copy on Monday. Beautiful offerings! Thank you Josh!

I'm checking my mailperson for NRA and PGCA membership. Maybe he's a slow reader.

Catalog #8 is one of the nicest lifters I have ever seen. I hated to finish the case and return the gun. The writeup says it comes with Parker tools, but doesn't show them, so I thought it might be of interest to show them. The case top is a beautiful piece of feather crotch walnut.

My catalog made it to Idaho yesterday. Thanks josh!

Bill - Have you seen Sprankle's spectacular decoy display on Sanibel Island? Hope they weren't destroyed in the Hurricane. His generosity has raised lots of money for the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge

My catalog arrived this morning, Thanks Josh!

Missouri must be on the outs with the USPS. Nothing here yet.

(Edgar, the case is stunning, as is the gun.)

I recieved my catalog today and skimmed through it at lunch.

I read the description today and ws surprised by one thing in the description. It states that the barrel flats are stamped with the grade and DD which means it has Parker made damascus barrels.

Somehow, I don't remember ever seeing this. I am well aware of the Parker made barrels and have a few of them. I have seen several (I own one) which have the Parker laminate barrels on D quality guns. There have been several discussions of the laminate barrels in the past couple of years, but I don't remember any mention that Parker made true Damascus pattern barrels in addition to the laminates. They were only made for 2-3 years. Did they actually make damascus pattern barrels in addition to the laminates, and were they marked DD, similar to the P stamp on the laminates?

Josh, got my catalog in MD today. Of course, I've already read it on the website. Thanks.

No ArtS, they didn't.

The DD indicates Finest Damascus (which I believe is 5-iron crolle) but not all are stamped as such... most are though.

Received my catalog Monday the 22nd. Lots of great guns. I have interest in several! Thanks Josh!

Thanks Dean. Now that you responded, I recall having read the DD reference before.
I was confident you would know when I posted.

Hope you are doing well after your accident.

Got mine, thanks Josh. Actually had a couple of left handed shotguns. I'll call that a good start.

I used to own the gun described on page 26 of the catalog. Great gun but I just couldn’t shoot it well. According to the PGCA letter the original owner was a Mr H. E. Anderson of Lancaster, PA. My research revealed Mr Anderson was a registered shooter, who was associated with the pigeon circuit in Pennsylvania and Maryland. By the time he ordered #103439 he was in his mid-60s and was not that competitive, but the news reports from the time show him in attendance at various shoots. I inferred from this that he was a shoot organizer or sponsor of sorts. The load he requested Parker tune the gun for was1 1/4 oz of #7s over 48 grains of Shultz powder, which coincidently is similar to a load prescribed for a Cashmore pigeon gun I own. Anyway,I hope whomever buys this gun enjoys it and shoots it better than I did.

Mine also arrived on Monday.

Hello Ed,
I also noticed that gun being ordered by H. E. Anderson in Lancaster, Pa. That is very close to where I was born and still live. I did a quick google search of that name and came up empty.
Thanks for sharing that info.
Stan

Thank you Josh for the catalog. This is no small expense.
I have both sold and purchased through this auction and have been very happy with the results.

Ed is that the gun I purchased from you ?

Yes. That’s the one.

No catalog in North Missouri yet!

I don’t have mine in central VA either . BUT I’ve not been to the post office since Friday the 19th :whistle:
