If it sells don't let that money burn a hole in your pocket, Keep the cash. and when you see the right gun you can spring for it! Gary

Many people past and present look for a nice DHE with European walnut and skeleton butt plate. It was Parker's usual presentation gun, has nice wood and enough engraving to hold a person's interest. Lots were made in various gauges and configurations such that a person should be able to find what interests him. The skeleton butt plate was distinctive to middle and higher grade Parkers.

Steve,

$10k for something special? Perhaps a once in a lifetime purchase?

How about something made for you such as Rich, aka C.O.B. had made for him or rather for his dog Gunner:


The total cost of Gunner's Gun was over $10k but not that much more...

Another affordable custom belongs to PGCA member Greg, aka Wild Skies. It is a wonderful AH Fox 20 gauge which was custom made for Greg for under $15k:


PS: Both guns shown were engraved by Robert Strosin of RES Engraving.

Mark

Yep, and well worth the price! Really fine Parker's are so much fun to own. If you don't shoot it you can just look at it...sorta like a trophy wife.

Thank you for the wonderful pictures and what a fine Parker! With guns like that around why would anyone want to spring for an English best? One can cost five times as much/more than this wonderful/classy Parker.

I own a really fine, but plain Fox Sterlingworth. A very, very nice shotgun! I'm going to google the engraver. I may just gussy up my Fox Gun.

I'd like a lifter of course. I'm probably going to have all winter to think about it.

Gentlemen,

To correct an error on my previous post:

"Another affordable custom belongs to PGCA member Greg, aka Wild Skies. It is a wonderful AH Fox 20 gauge which was custom made for Greg for under $15k:"

This AH Fox is not owned by Greg, aka Wild Skies. Greg has an equally nice (perhaps nicer???) custom Fox emgraved by RES.

Sorry about that Greg,
Mark

I had $10,000 in cash once. I spent most of it on whores and whiskey, the rest I just kinda wasted......
