Default Morphy Auction Single Traps

Morphy's was an excellent opportunity to score a Parker single trap. Successful bids are available on their websites. Too bad the big Parker shooters were away at the Grand.

Some pretty good deals, even with the 20% buyer's premium added on.

I had my eye on the L. C. Smith Crown grade SBT.

I had my eye on one, but bowed out

I hadn't looked the Morphy auction over until just now . Wish I'd known I'd atleast have run the price on the VHE 20 up a little more .

Default Parket SBT Trap Guns @ Morphy's

I was at Morphy's while these Parker trap guns were being sold, I thought they were very reasonably priced.
I never have actively pursued a Parker SBT but when comparing to the Ithaca SBT's that I have, I thought they were reasonable and I had a hard time keeping my hand down.

Is this the normal price range for these guns?

That might have been the one. I think it was the last one auctioned off.

Mills, the restock was the last one sold, and $1792.00 including the buyer's premium, not a bad deal. #176,128, the second single in the stock books, went for a reasonable $1968.00. It may be an important piece of Parker Brothers history. The great Remington era single, #236,770, went for $2767.50, the best deal of all the singles in the auction.

Yes, those were some goods deals. Especially so once I win next year's Grand American Handicap Championship with my Parker SA. The price of Parker SBT's will go through the roof.

Looks like there are quite a few more coming up in the auctions in the next few months.
