The Value of a Parker Gun

[John Bastiani]

I was reading an article from a "NRA gun collecting review" magazine that was published in 1983. The title is "The value of a Parker Gun by Michael McIntosh. The article talks about Mr. Bill Jaqua purchasing and paying $95,000 for a A-1 special 28 gauge.(certainly a steal today) and a AHE 20 gauge that was purchased by boxing champion James Jeffries for his sparing partner William Kolb. Have these guns ever come up for sale and does one of our members own either of them? I know the A-1 special has been pretty well documented but I'm most interested in hearing about the early 1915(deep engraved) AHE-20 ga. Thanks!
