Parker 8 Gauge Fans D grade

[B. Dudley]

I too scratch my head at $13k being way below normal pricing for an 8g. I think in the current market it may be right about a good retail number for a fluid steel barreled graded gun. Since usually what I see is that a lower grade composite barreled gun will isually be in the $6-8k range.
These guns are very difficult to determine the market on now. A lot of heavy hitters in big bore collecting have passed on and sales show it.
All of Middlebrook’s guns were sold over the course of 2 or 3 auctions last year and a lot of the guns sold for less that one may have expected.

Was Middlebrook the guy that owned 5 or 6 of the LC Smith 8's ?

Think the guy I'm thinking of lived in MD or PA and died 3 or 4 years ago .
