Some of our posters, supposedly educated in Parker records, don't understand that provenance isn't available on this gun, even if missing records were recovered. Order books ended at about serial number 185,000 range. Don't blame missing or stolen books on the missing records on this gun. We will never know the provenance of this gun unless someone in its previous life comes forward.

I think considering the condition of the gun it brought a fair price. No case colors, white line pad, issues with the stock finish and probably re-blued barrels all were considerable deductions on my tally sheet.

Thanks Frank. So early in the day and I’ve learned something new already!

I think Patrick (PML) hit the nail on the head here. A beautiful and rare gun.

Didn't Bill Jaqua buy the "Little Persuader" 28 gauge for something over $100K about 30-35 years ago, and sell it very quickly thereafter?

I just had this gun in my hands, it is as right as rain.I cannot say how the owner got the information, but the missing books said it is what it is.
