Thanks Garry and Stan the weight and dimensions are perfect for me. What attracted me was the laminate barrels (I'm a sucker for damascus guns). I just received notice that I won!! I may even kill a few ducks with the old girl.
Anyone else make a purchase? The 40" barreled Parkers were way beyond my estimate, ya just never know. All I can say is I'm perfectly happy with my 36" short barreled Parkers 8's LOL.

Congrats !

Your new 12 is pretty much a match for the 10 gauge I bought in Sanford although mine is 32" .

Watching the two $50K long barrels being auctioned off. You'll notice my bidder number firmly planted on the table. I can't breath in that rarified air! I did take a treasure or two home with me, though...and my wife is still taking to me. Congratulations to the successful bidders.

That's a very interesting picture Garry. Lot number 3435 in the background. While you were taking that picture at the exact same instant I was on the phone getting pummeled. I didn't figure I would get it but I didn't see that price coming. I thought what I bid was insane truthfully. Fortunate seller IMO, good for them. We'll catch up with each other at the annual meeting.

By chance did you happen to notice if the same buyer got both the 10 and the 12 ?

I did. They were different bid numbers for what that's worth, said seriously.
