Parker Appraisal

[Pa SxS]

Kevin,

Great post on how to value a Parker or any other gun for that matter.

Can you elaborate on your evaluation of the Sousa AAHE Parker? It's the first I've heard of that gun and to think that gun was auctioned off just a few miles down the road where I grew up! Was it owned by a local from that area? Let's face it, Alderfers is not a leading auction house for fine guns. I knew that Sousa was a trapshooter and I've seen his Ithaca SBT in the ATA museum in Vandalia but I didn't know that he owned a Parker AAHE.

Fill us in on a separate post if possible.

Thanks,

I wonder how close this AAHE got to the appraisal value when the gavel fell or did it go over.
