20ga Lifter at Julia's auction
I was just looking at the Parker's listed for tomorrows auction in Maine. I am not going to bid BUT I will be watching item #1314. It is a 20 gauge lifter presented in a nice case and it has an estimate value set at $12,500 - $17,500. If it sells in that range, I think I'll be kicking myself for not bidding. But, I have to draw a line somewhere so ..... it's a time in my life to think of selling and not buying so I'll just be watching from the sidelines.
A 20 ga. lifter is a rare bird indeed. Going on the data in The Parker Story, Parker only made 54 20 ga. hammer guns in all grades total (lifter + top lever) and of those only 13 were lifters (all grades) and of those only 4 were grade two guns. So, this gun is one of 4 grade 2 in 20 gauge! This gun has been worked on but being so rare, I think it will sell higher than the estimate???? I have been told that the market is soft now, so maybe they are correct, but it will be interesting to watch this one!!!!
I may just drive up to watch this one sell. FYI - for those that don't know me, I like Parker hammer guns and the lifters are my favorite of them all.

I have cased two for a member. One was a grade 3, the other, the very first Parker 20ga, was a $250 grade. Both were on display on his table at Baltimore this weekend.
