Tulsa 8 ga
 

While browsing in Tulsa, I stumbled across this 8 ga, didn't buy, but took a photo for you to see.

Is that a Grade 1 with Twist Steel barrels?

What is written on the tag?






.

the tag reads, NH 8 bore 1903, $17,000

thanks for the picture of this 8 ga they are special to me..looks like a nice gun just wish they were not so costly...charlie...

John, Dean, Charlie,

I saw it on Sunday morning, on the bottom floor, and it DID have Twist barrels. Nice, BIG....Parker!

The $17,000 appears to be somewhat high, even for an 8 gauge. What do you fellows think?

I think in the used gun market most sellers start at a price higher than the figure they would be willing to accept. That way the seller gets what he wants and the buyer has the pleasure of knowing he is a great negotiator.

Kinda like the one Wildwood has had for a couple years . Priced a touch higher then this one , but I suspect offers would most certainly be considered .

I think it's high for a Twist barrel gun, for sure.

But for a gun that TPS shows only 142 made in all grades.....it'll probably never be a buyer's market.

All told, there were around 400 Parker 8 gauges of which about 20 were steel barreled guns. They certainly have gone up in price since I purchased some. Over my years of collecting, I purchased 4. Prices ranged from $2000 to $6000. Only have one left and the three I sold made money for me.
