Jaquas Road Trip
Since I couldn’t make the trip to Mike’s I’m headed to Jaquas today to check out the gorgeous selection of guns. It’s going to be another wonderful day. :whistle::whistle:

Lots of beautiful Parkers all from the same collection. Fellow passed away never having seen some of the guns he had bought, including the incredible A-1 Special 16. My interest was was in a couple of BHE 20’s that are both beautiful. A 30” gun is priced beyond my reach and a 26” gun is a lovely Bachelder refinish. I prefer 30 inch barrels on my small bores, especially the 20’s as I love to shoot sporting clays with them. There Is an interesting 28 gauge PH upgraded from VH. I was disappointed to see it wasn’t a factor PH as I had planned to take a run at it. There was also a pretty little 410 with a beaver tail that just hit the floor and seemed reasonably priced. All in all a wonderful way to spend a couple hours with a dear Parker friend. BTW. They gratuitously allowed us to handle the A1 Special.

Here are photos from Dan’s trip. This A1 Special 16 gauge was described by a friend as “[t]he most beautiful Parker shotgun I have ever seen.”

Looking at the pics on their website, both BHE 20s appear to have had restoration work? There are a handful of the collection that appear original? Hard to tell looking at pics sometimes. Some are obviously restored, some not so.

That's an accurate observation. There are a signicant amount of guns I looked at while they were still organizing them that have sold. They mentioned that for a while people were calling about specific guns in the collection and buying them in groups.
|
It is my understanding that the proceeds from the sale of these guns is directed to go to children's hospitals.
|
They indicated that the proceeds were going entirely to charity as the collection owner had no heirs. They mentioned 2 different charities.
