A lot of very interesting and low production small gauge guns. Could be a real opportunity for somebody who may find what they were looking for.

Yes there are some nice Parkers, but be carefull if you are not there in person, as there is some interesting wording in some of the descriptions:whistle:

One gun that I don't understand is lot 1276 "Truly Exceptional High Condition Parker GHE 410 Skeet Gun" Well look at the case colors on the two side shots, I've never seen that color case colors on any original Skeet gun...Redone yes but not original..:rolleyes: I could be wrong...

Austin! Welcome back. Been wondering when you'd resurface. Hope you are feeling better and we hear from you regularly.

Austin, those of us who don't own a catalog don't deal in page numbers. What item number are you referring us to?

Eric, lot# 1276 is a very late Remington Parker, 241995, being very near the end of production. Could Remington have been using the cyanide case hardening technique then? Or maybe Delgrego finished the gun after the war...?

It is lot#1195 and is a superb BHE 20... almost 'over the top' in its engraving.

Lot 1195, page 128
 

It is lot 1195, and occupies page 128 Bill. It is from the Ned Schwing collection. Photos occassionally fib a little, but that gun looks like it alone is worth a trip to Maine to see.

Best, Austin

Dean, I'm not sure I understand your question. I'm not really up on such things, but I thought that Remington always used the cyanide method. Is that true?
