Maybe so but you're dating them now, rumor of course

No no Randy,

I don’t have a real good term to describe it, but let’s just say, when you pick a date, not every date is perfect, sometimes the good features are that great, you look past one not so likable feature

[Jay Oliver]

I almost rather not say as it wasn't a Parker. I did come close on that restored 8 gauge TA hammer gun with 36" barrels, but I let it go to hopefully a member here.

[tom tutwiler]

Must admit I was looking at the Repro 28 gauge with the twin triggers and Beavertail and Q1 and Q2 chokes. 7K plus the 20 percent was a bit too much.

[Bill Murphy]

Yup, Tom, I just watched that 26" one barrel set 28 Repro go for about ten grand. How about that 38A and 39? The ammo prices were obscene. We could write a book. To be fair, there were some scarce guns to be had. The Mag 12 Ithaca would be a great gun but for the choke tubes. $36,000 for the A-3 Smith was probably "market" price. Over ten grand for a Durston Special and about thirty grand for an E Grade Lefever 20. The little BHE 28 may have been the buy of the sale at over $125,000. However, the companion .410 at over a hundred grand was not quite as good a deal. Mr. Parker could have done as well on the PGCA website, especially with the 28. At least we were able to get our hands on some great guns, and we may see them again. The down side will be trying to sell our meager little collections at fair prices. I have always described my guns as a "shooting collection" and that's what they are. I shoot them all, from AAH to Trojan, 8 gauge to .410, and they will be spread among the members here some day, with no bother about high collector prices.

[Bill Murphy]

Reggie, all I got was a handful of tailfeathers, but maybe the buyer will turn it loose for a fair profit. That gun was about all I went for.

[Reggie B]

Hope one of our members got the SA-1 trap gun!
