Well Somebody thought it was a fair price and a couple of others were right behind him. An awful lot of Parker people go to that website to find a "diamond" in a big mine full of lumps of coal. Somebody got lucky on this one. .

It's worth what it sold for but my guess was 20K. Very cool gun.

The first thought I had when seeing the photos of this gun were it looks like an Amish A Grade. But it still exudes the character and soulfulness of a high grade Parker. Congrats to the new owner! I would love to have had it.

Not all Grade 7 guns had engine turned flat surfaces. I don't know why, because I have not seen a Parker Brothers order with any mention of this feature.

About six weeks I took a big chunk of my " Gun Money " and bought a fairly new High Lift / Back Hoe combination or I would have given " Sold Cheap " a few more bids to chase ! I don't know why but I really liked this gun ,just bad timing for me ! Congrats to the new buyer ,hopefully he is one of us !!!!!!!!

Russ, I figured that this gun would heat you up if it were a grouse gun. Of course, a grouse gun would be a bit higher up on the bidding scale.

Bill ,Isn't this AAH just a wonderful gun , I seem to remember past discussions with you that you also like the unusual ! I would like to read the letter on it ,I wonder if it was shipped with the Pad instead of the usual Skeleton plate ?

I doubt that the pad would show up in the order. However, the leather covering is from way back.
