I overpaid substantially for that gun, but "Just had to have it." It has a very interesting history as the gamegetter for a Nebraska family who lived off the land from pioneer days.

It was a auction on icollector , not sure what the middle 10 gauge was .
The bottom one was listed as a PH 12 ga . They didnt list any serial #s ,
would they have rebarreled a 8 gauge post 1918 with damascus 10 ga barrels ?

A Parker with a 10 ga and 8 ga barrel set would be near perfect , 8 ga for turkey and the 10 ga for waterfowl .

Yes I think that often you have to overpay to get the old sxs you want .
Seems alot of the prices are determined by throwing a dart at a board .
Though a dealer and private seller are going to sometimes have different ways of thinking on prices .

Welcome to the PGCA Milton. Thank you for joining.

You caught me trying to prod Milton to join the PGCA. Through whatever means necessary. It has worked in some cases and not in others.

That is precisely why the word “collector” was invented... because there are so many nice Parkers.
