There was a supposedly real Parker Brothers trophy banging around the Allentown PA show for a few years. I was never able to get up enough nerve to pronounce it original. Maybe Tom Kidd or Kevin McCormack will remember it. I haven't seen it in five or six years at least.

Check out the in store specials not the auction. There is a "Grey Squirrels" poster for 11 grand. Just a little over my budget but cool none the less. Jack

Tom,
Does the du Bray trophy have any hallmarks? I took my fathers cavalry trophy to a silversmith to have a handle repaired and was informed that the trophy was made of lead! It looked silver to me and I grew up with a silver spoon in my mouth. Harry |

$2200 and L.C. Smiths
[QUOTE=Jay Gardner;14279]Perhaps one could argue that spending $2.200 on an LC Smith faub is pizzing away money?
 Thanks Jay. I treasure the tools and skills I inherited from my Granddad as much or more than his guns. The most amount I have spent on a doublegun to date was that exact amount- a 12 Pigeon gun- a 2E DT rebarreled at Fulton in 1927 with 32" Nitro Ventilated Rib barrels- Full in both, 3" chambers and 8 lbs. even. I kill way more birds with it than any watch fob!!

Francis I believe the only thing you're lacking is a FOX! I wish you could be at the SOUTHERN. I'd like to meet you in person.
Best Regards As Always, George |

Best Regards As Always, George[ The pleasure would be mine as well, Suh! My TDY at Camp Lejeune in the 1960's made me appreciate Southern good manners. I bought a HE 12 some 20 years ago from a Pawn Shop. Would NOT do that again today, as the serial numbers were filed down. Last edited by Francis Morin; 04-02-2010 at 11:06 AM.. |

Francis: I too was surprised at the final price for BW. I guess that it is a "sign of the times". I had some great times fighting with Marines at Charagamus in Old San Juan and at Roosevelt Roads, both in PR. My HE has the "BARRELS NOT GUARANTEED SEE" erased. Only the word "TAG" remains, but the SN is intact. I, too, hope that whoever bought BW will take it back to the blind at Nash's club in Arkansas and let go a few before it is parked forever in a museum.
Best Regards, George |

Be hard to do any gunning at his club in Arkansas, it's a Wildlife Refuge now and has been for many years.
