AHE at local estate sale
 

An advertised estate sale with a Parker AHE 1923.
I called the woman in charge of the sale and asked the price.
She replied, 17 thousand dollars. It sure looks nice in the picture.
I might even have to drive over just to see it in person!!!
If I do, I will try and get some photos to share with all of you.
Here's the pic from the ad.

Best regards,

Jeff care to share the location or the phone number.....:rotf:

I'll meet all of you there. I will wait for a private message from Jeff to tell me where to go.

Jeff, I for one am glad that you haven't listed a phone or address. According to Mr. Murderlak's book, "Parker Guns", Shooting Flying and the American Experience", the chapter I read today stated that a desirable high grade Parker may come along once or twice in a lifetime and I would hate to have this gun count as ONE, as I have to pay for a wedding in two weeks and it will be a while before those funds are replenished!

Jeff, pay no attention to the last post and send the information.

Jeff
can I get in line?:bowdown:

AH .410 bore Add to Collection
- it is believed that only one gun was manufactured.


Rarity precludes accurate pricing.

I propose that my furnishing of this information would merit you furnishing me with just the street and city names.

Best,

Mike

Edit - addressed my post to Mark instead of Jeff. Corrected that.

Stand at the end of the line Mike, I was here first.....!:corn: Jeff you can PM me the information....

Eric you are just bumming. I made a contribution. Based on that contribution I am sure Jefff knows I am the most worthy of the contact information.

Thanks,

Mike

And this is in a BAD economy? OH BOY
