Alderfers Auction in Hatfield Pa

[nid-28]

A fun day at Alderfers Auction today. The AHE 28 ga. Sold for $50K. The DHE 20 ga. 32 inch gun brought 10K. The LC 20 Crown, which was in fine condition, brought 19K. A nice GHE 20 brought 4K. A Model 21 Custom 12 ga. Skeet with Grade 6 engraving fetched an astounding, to me, 19K. The VHE 28 ga. on a O frame sold for 9K. A Browning Pigeon 28 skeet hammered at 5K. I thought there were some very good buys today on some very nice guns.

Bill: Do you know what the Fox XE sold for? Thanks Craig

[tom tutwiler]

Ditto on the Fox. I know one member of this board who ordered a card on that particular gun. Hoping he was the high bidder.

[nid-28]

Yes. It sold for $6000 plus the juice of 17-20%.

[Bill Murphy]

It was a great auction. If you need a shotgun, it was the place to be. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Bill Davis, or did I?

[Pa SxS]

Bill,

I was there along with Murphy, McCormack, and Howard Loewensteiner. Too bad we didn't meet, or did we??? I'm assuming your the Bill Davis from NJ that I'm always doing letters for

To my untrained eyes, the AHE looked original, to some others, the engraving was suspect and to others, they had reservations as to whether the barrels were replacements. We'll never know because there are no records on this gun.

These auctions are a great way to see what Parkers are really selling for. That GHE 20 for $4,000 would be awfully tempting

Ditto.

[nid-28]

Yes--I'm the Bill Davis from NJ. And no Bill Murphy, we did not meet. I'll make sure to introduce myself next time we are at the same place! Maybe Vegas? I was there with Ken Goldenberg.

I was there and I also thought the engraving on the 28ga AHE didn't look right to me, it looked like late Remington and the gun was made in 1920. On the other hand I don't see many 28ga AHE
