Invincibles

Parker 200000 was consigned at Von Lengerke & Detmold by W.H King on December 20, 1923. It was returned (c/o Parker Bros.) on January 5, 1924. I guess that at $800, it was a bit too expensive for a last minute Christmas present. It came back to VL&D later in 1924 and was sold on December 1, 1924 for $850. At that price it was over $300 more expensive than the A-1 Special below it.



Note that in the VL&D record book it was not called an Invincible but rather a "Quality Grade".

Tony Galazan's name is frequently mentioned in discussions about the Invincibles. Did Tony own one or more of these at one time?

The appraisal of the guns is partly a result of the sale and resale of the guns, both individually, and as a group. The untold part of the story was courtesy of The German Gun Collector's Association, Paul Jaeger and family. Another part left out was the Tony Galazan connection.

Sorry, Dave S., I was writing as you were posting. Dave Noreen's bibliography covers a lot go ground and clears up many misconceptions and ommissions in this story. I recommend reading it.
