There was a JW Tolley at the auction in Easton yesterday . Single barrel Jones underlever hammer gun but it was 4 gauge .

I know the WR starts at around 80k of course you may as well spend another 15k and get a set of 10 gauge barrels . Watsons only list a 4 bore it starts around 100k WR builds a 4 bore as well however Watson claims theirs is better proportioned . Ive just always had a thing for Westley Richards and have chatted with them before . They told me it doesnt matter if its a sxs they built in the 1880s they will make new parts/barrels whatever it needs . Im not sure if anyone else is willing to do that .

Milton, have you checked the Rock Island catalog? I thought I saw a WR 8. 8 gauge guns are certainly surfacing now, aren't they?

I think it’s just the tip of the iceberg

Ive seen there are alot of WW Greener 8 bores coming up for sale . I seen this one and really like it and its on the heavier side at 14lbs https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/...LOT518439.aspx


Then theres this beast at 16lbs , I read Greener built a large frame 8 gauge so perhaps this is one . https://www.rockislandauction.com/de...ammer-duck-gun


Right now though im not planning on buying I have just investing money for the long term. Has anyone looked at that 8 gauge LC Smith on GB ?

The Parker 8ga O grade hammer gun went for $6300 at the Guyette and Deeter auction.

OK, so Craig got the gun, but paid for it. In the pictures, it looks like a high condition gun with surface rust. Probably a trick of the camera. Maybe Craig will post pictures. What did the Tolley sell for?

Tolley was $1500 plus premium .

What makes you think I bought the G&D Parker?? I have a nice O grade 8. I was just trying to do a public service by posting the price.

You're not the only Craig on this thread. The "other" Craig, Craig Thompson, bought the eight gauge Parker.
