Looked at a couple of Parkers down here in Georgia this afternoon

There's also something to be said about the thrill of the hunt. Finding the needle in the haystack, so to speak. These guns can be seen online, so a little bit of my post was a warning to anyone who might have been watching them, particularly that g grade 10 ga. Most of the Parkers I'm seeing sold in onsite live auctions are going to offsite Internet bidders, so I kind of assume at least a member or two frequent those same online auction houses. This gun is a straight up loser.

Last weekend I drove two hours to Lexington, NC for a big 250 gun auction. There were many assorted doubles there, and I think five or six were Parker's. the main reason I went....a 20ga VH, and a 20ga DHE! The 20ga VH turned out to be a 12ga that was monoblocked to be a 20, and was in awful condition. The DHE turned out to be a GHE, in horrible condition and sporting a non original Beavertail and Vickers steel barrels. I didn't even stay long enough to see what they went for. I was high on the Auctions at one time, but my enthusiasm is dwindling.

Will, I just got back from the Baltimore gun show and I'm too tired to get out of bed to look at the records but the "N" grade was used for a period of time to designate a 10ga gun and it could have been the Grade 2 10ga so the "N" could be correct.

Chuck, Go get some sleep..... Grade 1 10 gauge guns were designated N grade and grade 2 guns were designated E grade. And I know you knew this....

Hey Will, I appreciate you using my quote as your tag line but what you posted above, which I have highlighted, is not something I would have posted even if I agreed with you.

I think I understand that thought. The auction house sold the gun to an internet bidder even after I told them the listing was incorrect. The gun was listed as "good condition" in the online description. I am not exaggerating when I say that this gun had the absolute worst bores of any gun I have EVER viewed with my own eyes. I wouldn't have been surprised if the barrels broke in two if they were dropped on the floor.
