Hmmmmm... looks like the Bambino should have kept his gun in a dryer place. Showing the better condition gun along with the Babes rusty hulk is an odd marketing strategy.

I would want to see empirical evidence of that claim.

Sure was 'rode hard and put away wet' wasn't it.

I think that gun has been offered before, or another Parker claiming to have belonged to Babe Ruth.

Ed ;I believe you are correct on this ,I remember it being out there before ,and the condition looks as poor this time as the last ,I would think it is the same gun !

This gun was out earlier in the year. At that time it was offered with a second Parker and not for comparison. Supposedly the second Parker also belonged to Ruth and not used like the one that's being offered now.

Amazingly, it doesn't say that. Maybe in a few more months?
