Any new SxS's at the half way point of 2024?
 

I'm off to a good start in 24, a very nice BH Parker 12ga 30" Boston Show Gun bought on GB and a Fox XE 12ga 30" purchased from Josh at the Southern. Sold way more than my two purchases. How about you?

Just sold my 28 ga Repro. Didn't fit me well enough to keep.

I bought a 1926 Thomas Wild hammer gun at auction for a very good price. Had a fitting done, opened the chokes a to M/M, decreased the drop and increase the LOP with a pad. Shoots really nicely now. I shot pheasant, ducks and partridge with it last season. It’s great on clays as well. Fun old gun.

Josh worked with me, and the seller, on a beautiful BHE 20ga, Damascus barrels. I guess I have to count a GHE 20ga with 30" damascus barrels, but I only bought it, to add the barrels to the BHE.

Not a Parker but I recently picked up a High Condition 16 Gauge , LC Smith Specialty Grade ,Double Trigger 28" Barreled Gun ! A pretty rare Gun according to the Book ,which always seem to appeal to me for some reason and it seems to fit me very well ! It is choked so tight the Galazan 16 Gauge Choke Gauge wont go in the left barrel ,not sure how that will work out !!! :rotf:

I purchased the NH 34” that was on here for sale then sold the GH 10 34” I bought a few years ago . Then a week or two ago an EH 28” fell in my lap . According to the book they made 60+ in this configuration but the kicker being I already had a match to the gun and they turned out to be consecutive serial number guns shipped to the same place . Both of these consec guns will be at Hausemann’s as well as the NH .

I've gone the other way ..... made a major reduction of the collection over the past two years. Most all of them were little used guns and I kept a good representation of the makers I like. So far, no new SxS's for me during 2024 and I did resist the great urge to buy one on Gunbroker just a few days ago. :nono:

Rare and special Parker
 

There's one on the horizon and I'm preparing to get it if it comes out into the light of day. EVERYONE will know if I'm successful. Of course, I'm going to have to sell some things in the meantime to afford it. $$$$$

Unfortunately, no. I have bought a couple guns so far this year, but no sxs's.

Got a 20ga DH a few weeks ago, 26" 5lbs 13.8oz .All original condition
