The dealer that has a few available is selling off the end of a collection he bought almost a decade ago. The collector he bought them from was a neighbor of mine who spent a lifetime accumulating them. Never assume that a dealer who is selling a few rare guns just got them by visiting the local pawn shop. If I can get a price on the recently discussed 8 gauge, there will be a few more Parker eights on the market. Mine are not quite that nice.
