Looking for Best Collectable Parker SxS

[Ralph Meoni]

First, thanks for your replies. I just love collecting great guns so mostly will keep them in safe but may shoot once or twice.

Go to the March Julia auction and buy all the Parker .410s. This will be a great start. Let us know how you do.

If you're not actually going afield and truly experiencing the gun, consider only the highest condition guns before thinking about grade or gauge. There's still hope you'll see the error of your ways, and actually get out there and shoot them.

I've seen and heard that said for many, many years now from Charlie Price, Austin, and a number of others and I think the order, as I remember, is Condition, Gauge, and Grade - but there may from time to time be overriding factors that skew that order. A low condition CHE 8 gauge, or a AHE .410 in very used condition (auctioned at something like $119k) would certainly skew the order.
