But better than that was the other Parker - an AHE 20 gauge with 30" Acme barrels, DT, straight grip, splinter and great figure in the wood, also in excellent original condition.
The price for the pair was $60k and he wouldn't sell them separately... not that it would have mattered, my wallet wasn't that thick at the time.
I don't know where the AHE 20 went but I subsequently saw the BHE for sale for $40+k on an online site...
Kevin will probably remember these two beautiful guns.

Dean, I had to sit down when I read this -- because of the guns...and the potential hit to someone's savings (OK, my savings!).
