Once again I am reminded of the value of membership in this Association. This is a fascinating thread.

Dave,
What's the story with the straight stocked GHE?

A good friend knew of this gun and put me in touch with the owner who as luck would have it was local. I had many questions and he finally said he was going to the auction house Thursday and i could me him there to inspect the gun. Let me tell you what a treat it was to fondle that high condition small bore. The case color and wood are definitely original. Dean you nailed it perfectly. The gun was bought new about 1940 by a great uncle attorney. He rarely used it and was passed down through the family. The only flaw as noted by sharp eyes here is the bead, which the owner said he broke and glued back on. Hopefully i can be the winning bid on this beautiful condition gun. Thanks to the Parker forum for your guidance.

I have SN 241421 and my gun shares some of the same characteristics that this gun has. Although, mine has a Parker single trigger and a recoil pad.

Looks like the final selling price was an even 10K.

IMO that's an absolutely crazy price for this gun considering some of the issues I see with it. These are some crazy times we're living in right now, one third of the country is out of work and struggling while others are throwing money around like there's no tomorrow!

Maybe the winner of the auction cashed in on the GameStop casino last week
