Default Whoa!

Where did Steve Barnett come up with 7 Parker Reproductions to sell in one day, aside from the "Skeuse Collection!?" (Gunsinternational)

Well, he says they came from there, but there isn't much there to pick from. All Repros are nice but these aren't that unusual. Mine came from the Skeuse collection also, many moons ago.

I have no idea where he came up with these, but big dealers sometimes deal in big quantities. A few years back I was having a conversation with Steve Barnett, he told me he was making arrangements to make a trip out to California to possibly purchase a collection of 75 Repros from one individual. Tongue in cheek, I said to him "You'll flood the market", he responded "No, that won't happen as I'll release just a few at a time". It could be that these 7 are part of a much larger collection.

And many of these guns are sold on consignment.

Steve had 6 or so repros about 6 months ago as well... a DT 28 gauge was sold before I got to it.

I sold him a NIB 20ga or should say traded one at Hausmans.
