Josh had a sexy 8 bore Lefever owned by Grover Cleveland. He also took ownership of the .410 DHE and it was on his table Saturday around mid-day. I know a guy who bought the 20g $65 Grade lifter. Nice gun that will be restocked to usable dimensions and the original stock will be kept as is so no "collectors" need to throw a brain-vein!! As is it's 13 1/2" LOP and a 4 1/2" DAH. That is for a giraffe with T-Rex arms!! It is 1 of 14 O grade lifters in 20g made by Parker. Really neat gun that'll show up on the podium hopefully sometime in 2022. Just sayin'.

Mike, was that ser. # 17448 ? the one that Austin Hogan found in upstate New York about 15 years ago? Austin described it as a "perfect rabbit gun", with such a severe drop that it will never shoot high. He published an article in Parker Pages featuring it but I can't seem to find it in the Digital Archive.
