Default 1902 DH 30" Damascus:

This Parker was on my watchlist and I got the email that the auction was ending soon. Out of curiosity I brought up the auction to see what the final hammer price would be. The high bid was in the $800's and it was just too low to ignore. I won the auction at $930.50.
It was the gem of an estate collection from a 90 year old who had passed.
The shotgun shows some wear but the Damascus pattern is very vivid and judging by the breech face it hasn't been used much and in original condition. There are still Damascus patterns on the breech end of the barrels, not very typical. I wouldn't normally get too excited about a #2 frame gun, though the 30" barrels are a minimum requirement in my wheel house. Somewhat different on this example, there are ducks on the lower frame trigger plate.
Was it just because it was a Sunday night and the auction didn't receive much attention or has the bottom fallen out on Damascus Parker shotgun values?
I certainly didn't see anything very detrimental in the photos to dissuade my interest in the gun. Oops, a 1903 gun.
