Recent Rock Island Auction
Good Morning,
Did anyone attend or bid on guns from this weekend's Rock Island auction? I went to the preview day and parts of Saturday's and Sunday's auction. There were a good number of Parkers of all kinds -- original condition, upgrades, reproductions. Several 8 gauge Parkers, both hammer and hammerless, and some nice 410s (for those who covet those). A really nice N 10 gauge built on a #6 frame was a highlight for me (I did not bid on it as I was holding out for another Parker down the line...and my wife was sitting next to me, if you understand what I mean...). I thought this gun was an 8 gauge it was so large and heavy (notes said 12 lbs. 12 oz.) It was a very nice gun.
There were some real bargains in my opinion, and some that went for premium prices (the 8s and 410s, of course).
I managed to win a nice 10 gauge grade 3 and a really nice G grade 12 built on a #1 frame (I thought it was a 16 when I first saw it a picked it up).
Just curious if anyone else participated in the auction and what your thoughts are (and if you got any treasures from the auction).
