A few years ago on this BBS, I was castigated by the always charming EDM for having the temerity to pay $3K for a GH D2 28" 20g 0 frame. I guess I was ahead of my time...I recently bought a 28" DH D3 O frame 20ga from a major dealer and was forced to pay 2X that and I had been looking for some time. Neither of these guns were exceptional. I guess I couldn't find all of these Damascus Parkers that are laying about... Parker 20g Damascus guns in nice condition in grades G and above are fairly scare IMHO- there are not that many about and a fair number of folks want them. My favorite 20g Damascus Parker is my 32" DH #2 frame 3" gun but an 8 pound 20g is probably not what most people are looking for...

Sounds like good buys. I went substantially more than that for a CHE 20 damascus, but within a year, I was offered substantially more than I paid, so I felt a bit better.

There is always some authority that pays less than you do and when he sells, his guns are always worth more than yours.
