Do you happen to know what it went for approximately.

Harold,

I would like to let you know I won the auction for the DH12. I was actually alerted to this gun by Josh. It fits in real nice with 2 other parkers I have (that Josh sold me). The last Damascus C grade (TPS pg. 718) & the last Damascus B grade. Yes, I'm a sucker for Damascus.
I usually try to get Parkers I am willing to shoot, either birds or clays(and I shoot my Damascus Parkers the most), but when this gun came up for sale I couldn't resist.

Louis, I got to meet you at the 2023 Vintagers At Warrington. You were sitting at my tent when my brother and I showed up. I'm on the right(your left).2023_Vintagers.jpeg

Warrington has since gone out of business and I was able to buy several of their MEC traps to set up a 5 stand on the farm. Gonna get those long barrel Parkers out and stretch their legs.

Congratulations Jim,

You acquired a special one, I found that one hard to resist!

I really thought about it, but I would have almost felt guilty shooting it since it appeared so close to unfired

If it doesn’t have cool Damascus barrels of some flavor, it isn’t no fun to shoot!

My motto and I’m sticking to it
