Those used car salesmen seem to be at every gunshow. I met one last Sunday while holding a wonderful Fox Sterlingworth the I had just bought from a guy walking it throught the show. The gun had a couple wood issues but it had 90% factory case colors! The used car guy was trying to pick it apart. I politely but firmly told him the conversation was over.
In the end the beautiful Sterlingworth didn't come home with me. An LC Smith Sryacuse Quality 2 in 10 Gauge was however added to my collection of 10 bores. It was an even trade for the little Fox and the gentleman I traded with has several Parkers tucked away that is is going to show me!
From the looks of the Sryacuse Smith the older gentleman may have a unique Parker that he may be willing to sell to me. One can only hope!
