[J. Scott Hanes]

I saw Parker # 1848 sell at auction today. The only listed serial number older in the I & S book is #1444. This 1848 is not in the book, and it was presented in a wooden case and is 14 gauge with several 14 gauge UMC shells also in the case, wooden cleaning rod, primers and over-shot wads for reloading. Quite a piece of Parker history and went for over $10k. Not too bad condition for a 147 year old beauty.
