A new book on American Doubles!
 

A new book on American Doubles has just been published! It is 265 pages of top quality American Double Barrel Shotguns featuring The Eric Klein Collection. The book is coffee table size format with amazing detailed photographs which will be a reference for generations to come.

The first commercially available signed copy will be sold at auction during the PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet in Sanford with all sales proceeds benefiting the Parker Gun Foundation (think tax deduction!).

This book is full of eye candy and a “must have” for anyone who loves American Doubles!

See you in Sanford!

Josh,

When and Where will this be available?

Ken

After the banquet, a limited number of copies will be available at the Southern or by contacting me after the show.

Sign me up please Josh - I’ll contact you privately.

Put me down too. I'll see you at the Southern

Just make sure Harold gets No. 1 personalized by his most astute student.

Josh - Please put me down on your list. I will not be at the southern, so I will send you a check when you are ready. Thanx, Billy Gross

Please reserve a copy for me. I will not be attending the Southern. Thank you.

How do those of us west of the Rockies get a copy?

Via FedEx after the southern -

Dave - I’ll put you down on the list to reserve a copy.

I got a hands-on look at Josh's hard work this weekend and do not know if there is a finer publication on the subject.

Josh please put me down for a copy.
Josh I wont be at the Southern. I will need you to Fedex a copy after you return. Thanks you for all of your effort.

Josh, I'd sure like a copy.

Add me to your list. Craig Larter

I would like a copy. What is the retail price?

Josh, put me down for one too.

I won't be at the southern so whenever they are ready.

Josh, I would love a copy if any available.
Thanks
Angel..

Josh, I'm interested in a copy, too. Will you be at the Bray's Island Exposition this year? I assume it's the weekend before the Southern, as in the past?

JOSH...Add my name to your list...........

Brays Island Expo is not planned for the week before the Southern this year. It may be scheduled for November in 2024, but I am not certain.

Thank you all so much for your interest and support. The book is a compilation of choice quality American Doubles from Mr. Klein’s incredible collection. The photos are amazing - and literally larger than life with the book being coffee table sized. It is hard bound with a chapter on each of the biggest American Makers including Fox, Parker, Lefever, L.C. Smith, Ithaca, Winchester.

I’m compiling a list of interested parties.

The books will retail at $300 plus shipping of $40 via FedEx 2nd day service. It is my sincere hope that the first book being sold at the Foundation dinner/PGCA annual meeting raises at least $1,000 to benefit the organization! (Again, that would be mostly tax deductible)!

Thank you again for your interest. This is a book you will love for years with many dream guns pictured and described in great detail - most of which are exceedingly rare and in fantastic condition!

Josh, put me down for a copy. I will be at the Southern.

Here’s one in the book that’ll raise some pulses - Parker AHE 20ga 32”…..

Oh my!

Yikes! Don't show that to Reggie or he'll start plotting how to acquire it.:)

Josh , please put me down for a copy, can’t be at the southern have a meeting at the Mouse house with the grandkids, Jeff langbehn

I got a copy last week and have spent many enjoyable hours looking at it. It’s amazing and overwhelming.

Eric Klein Collection
 

I had an opportunity a few years ago to view Eric’s collection of fine American doubles and will have to say it is the most beautiful and complete collection in the USA if not the world!! The small bores and especially the .410’s are second to none!

I have seen the collection as well and it is breathtaking. The display set up itself is amazing

So who is Eric Klein? We've done exactly 1 research letter for him in 2009. Can somebody give a short biography about this guy?

Read the 2018 thread that I just brought to the top. The Garden and Gun website will show the article from December 2018 about Mr. Klein and his collection. Josh's book will show and tell more.

Thanks for bringing the thread back. But it is no longer at the top, so here it is:

Several people who are not able to be at the banquet next Friday evening have asked me about bidding via absentee on the book copy. If you are interested in bidding on this inaugural copy and not able to attend the banquet, please send me a PM and we will work out a way to bid via absentee bidding. Thank you for your interest!
