Nice gun for the person who has to have a 410, don't see many like that. Seems high to me, Rich it would take a lot of blood to pay for that gun at that price. I don't think V grade 410's are worth $20,000 either but there have been many that sell for that or more.

If a person had a serious interest, he probably wouldn't be on here talking about it, but would make the seller an offer that he considered realistic. The problem with setting an unrealistically high price is that it makes the seller look like he is not the kind of person you can do business with, so why even try. But who knows, shoot him a realistic offer and see what happens, chances are he wouldn't get very many and he may only get your offer.

The highest price paid for producing farm ground last year was for a quarter of corn ground in Boone County, Iowa, at $14,000/acre. Who would have thought that either.

As much as I would like a 410 a Parker just isn't in the cards. Even I can't put together enough O.P.M. for that one. If you have the money I'm sure it would make a great investment but things change and the bottom might just fall out. I doubt you would find anyone willing to pay $14K/ acre for corn today.

I started turning down V Grade .410s many years ago, some for an arguing factor of a couple of hundred bucks. I don't get out much, but if I had bought every one I have been offered face to face at a fair price, I would own at least a half dozen to a dozen today. Believe me, no one's company run 401 has beaten V Grade Parker .410s in the recent past. I love to listen to Parker collectors professing "I don't need any .410. What are they good for?" Give me a break.

Thanks for the link to view a nice little gun. I have only one question from the pictures. I have never seen a top lever rest that far to the right. Is that still "normal"??
Cheers,
Jack

Default Corn Field for 14/K X 160 acre

Why a fellow would sure have to like to eat corn. But if it includes one of those missile Silo hideouts it seems like a fair deal. maybe thats where Bernie Madoff ditched some serious cash before he went to stay at the "country club" Paul
