Well, does $2925.60 for each sound fair?
Both definitely original, 95% at least, maybe a bit more, the usual scratches and dings from having been used, but not much.
12 gauge and 16 gauge look neatly identical but the 16 gauge, despite little use, has a crack forming in the upper tang.
Both are what they are supposed to be in the Parker book.
That’s what they would have cost me IF I could have gotten them for $2400 each at auction. I bid both up a bit, and both sold for $2300 each which, for me, would have been $2803.70.
There also was a 12 gauge with a vented rib that the Parker book has listed, but not with the rib. Rest was in the book, including straight grip. Not quite as nice as the other 12 gauge, hammered at $5600, which was $6,826.40 had I gotten it.
None seemed to me incredible bargains. But maybe some meat on the bone as to what is fair. But asking prices are all over the place, and I’m a whore when it comes to paying for something. No offense to anyone, but most dealers are (although one with the initials JL treated me really well in the past). I know they have to make a living, too, but I’m just not a retail kind of guy.
Edit: All 3 have letters on them, but not with them now. It would have been fun to win all three and letter them.��
