SBT
 

I’m still looking for a Shelly Gitman SBT if anyone has one. Let me know

I have his SAA single trap. I'm not real interested in selling, but I'm 78 years old, so who knows.

"Clean living."

Clean or “stubborn,” I hope you’re past 90 before you consider selling.

Garry, when Bill sells off his collection there will be such a glut of Parkers on the market that it will devalue every Parker we own! :bowdown:

Pls let me know if you change your mind. Shelly was a client and I loved talking with him about Parkers

Of that, Mountain Mike, I have no doubt. But if we could only look at the photos...:rotf:

Mike, I'm proud to say that my 64 year Parker accumulation is a shooting collection with quite a spattering of lesser condition specimens. John, Shelly was a great friend and I guess I won't be selling the SAA single any time soon unless I can afford one of his .410s.

I Bill and Linda have any grand or great-grand kids, I'm sure they could post photos for him. :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Our local gun shop just consigned 14 of them. I am guessing someone is unloading an estate. There was also some Bakers, Fox and many other assorted SxS's brought in including an unfired Holland & Holland Royal with a tiny asking price of only $127,000 CDN.

There is one guy on Gunbroker that has thousands of desireable doubles that are all overpriced and I have never seen him sell one. Gunsinternational is the same. There are well known dealers I know who have enormous numbers of desireable classics who I also believe sell very few guns. I have made the same comment before, but I think it applies more to overpriced, intransigent dealers than to actual collectors.

Anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I have a thingy and believe it's worth at $10k and publish a FS ad.

The market offers $2k.......

It's worth $2k.

You are a spring chicken Bill. I'm 80 and feeling top drawer. Stopped shooting a few years ago, but I'm getting back into it. Not dead yet and loving life! I also own a SBT. I haven't shot it for sometime because I've been ill, but I'm all healed up and rar'n to go!

Every day is a good day when you can shoot and enjoy the company of friends, regardless of age, I am 83 and love a good cigar and a Parker shotgun and afterwards a little nip of good bourbon, when I get too old to shoot shotguns, I might be in a pine box somewhere, with the ashes of some good dogs.

Gary, I share your thoughts exactly.

My kind of guy.:bowdown:
