Morphy Auction Single Traps

[John Davis]

We've recently had a similar discussion on this forum. It's my opinion (and that's all it is) that the normal price range for a Parker SC in unaltered condition is $2,800 to $3,200. At least one of the Parker SBT's in the Morphy auction had a replacement stock. Since I buy them to shoot, that doesn't really bother me if the gun is sound and fits me. Although I would take that in to consideration when pricing it. Remember too, I believe in buying high and selling low.

Mills, what single did you have your eye on? I thought the second single in the Serialization Book, #176,128, was a decent deal at $1600 plus the BP if it is mechanically good. I wonder what the letter says. I have some information from The Parker Story that implies that it is only in the stock book, not in the order book.
