Kevin McCormack and I and a couple of other PGCA members were sitting at the McCormack Parker display table at Baltimore several years ago. A gentleman and lady asked if we wanted to look at a Parker shotgun. Oh well, we said we would look. They unwound the highest condition Parker I think any of us had ever seen. It was a stone mint, brand new Folsom Hammer Trap Gun, tags, receipts, shipping box, about a quarter inch of paperwork from Parker Brothers, Railway Express, Folsom Arms, and I don't remember who all. This has been a few years ago when a T grade hammer gun in rather high condition would sell for maybe six or seven hundred dollars. We had a little pow-wow and agreed the the gun would sell for ten grand on its sale to a collector. I have never seen anything like that before or since. I hope Kevin will comment. Our historian may have been among the people who saw this gun.
