It cost a bunch. "Not the Czar's Parker" and case were displayed at the Gold Medal Concours at the Vintage Cup several years ago. It was available for inspection for at least three days at that event. It is quite a gun and lived up to Peter Johnson's mistaken impression of an over the top example of gun decoration. Thankfully, the real Czar gun turned out to be quite conservative as A-1 Specials go.
