Is this the DuBray gun that was talked about here a while back; can't tell from that small picture? A fluid steel barrel AA and with 3 barrels.
I can't believe I did not know about this going to auction! I knew it was headed to auction and have been waiting for it. That gun IS my holy grail Parker (any of the 5 but this one more so), I would rather own that than any grade 9. I would have wanted to be on it like a chicken on a worm. Someone got a great buy. How did it not get talked about on this forum???? |

It was auctioned at a somewhat obscure auction house as compared to the largest houses we hear so much more about. One of our highly esteemed and respected members was savvy enough to be high bidder on this one. And I wish him a hearty congratulations!
As Brian says, the DuBray gun will auction in October. It is a 3-barrel set, not all 30 inch barrels and all fitted at the Meriden manufactory. .

Actually one of those barrel sets is 32”. It was originally a 30” gun. The other 30” and 32” barrels were added on some of many documented returns to the factory.

Right Brian - I neglected to point that out. Thanks for the correction.

The Dubray AA 3 barrel set hammer gun and related ephemera will be sold in the Julia Morphy Auction 10/30-11/2. The gun and historical documents and shooting ephemera that go with it are a treasure for the Parker world.
