The correct number is right around 400 and the Appendix total is way off. A long time ago, Charlie Price and I gave presentations at the annualPGCA meeting on 8 gauges. We both, at that time, had roughly the same total number, 386. Since then, I have seen a number of Parker 8s that were not in any of the records, so I would guess the number could exceed 400. As far as purchasing an 8 gauge, grade 3, parker for $1300, the transaction would have to be less than on the "up and up". Either someone was grossly taken or the seller was transferring unowned goods.
