Parkers in the Rock Island Premier auction

Craig Larter · 07-26-2020, 02:00 PM

A pretty A-1 Special from the Remington era, two Pachmayr upgrades and a 8ga DH straight grip titanic barrels. A really mint Trojan and a bunch of shooter SBT's.

Those are certainly some terrible descriptions. But, they go well with the mediocre pictures. I especially like the "dovetail lump barrels" on the Fox and Parker doubles.

Lots of Repros as well.

The estimate on the 28ga VHE seems low.

The estimate on the 3 barrel 28/410 reproduction set seems strong.

Happy shopping !

Is that the same straight stock 8 gauge that Steve Barnett had ?

That William Moore 8 is nice also never seen a 8 gauge with a extra set of barrels .

Milton, the price tells the tale. It is the Barnett gun, maybe consigned by the owner rather than Steve. If the owner consigned it, it may actually sell. It will be interesting to compare the selling price with the DH 8 that was recently offered on this forum.

Do you know if that one that sold on here was the one that double guns of Nashville had on GI ? Crosnoe has a DH 8 with Titanic barrels also but they are asking 64k , it has a metal butt pad .

$50-$80k estimate on the DH 8g! What are they thinking!??

They're thinking; "what a great commission this will be if it sells for that"

Bill Murphy · 07-28-2020, 10:35 AM

Let's see. If the gun sells for $55,000, a good possibility considering there aren't many if any left in that configuration or condition, a 15% seller's commission would be $8250.00. The buyer's premium, if 20%, on the selling price would be $11,000. The seller would get $46,750. The buyer would pay $66,000. The auction house would make $20,750.00 for selling this gun. This makes the DH 8 sold recently on this site a good deal for the seller. Correction, it makes the DH sold on this site what is known as a "No Brainer". If my math is off, please feel free to correct me.
