The recent Sept. 2023 Guyette & Deeter, Inc. auction featured two Parker Reproductions that are truly rare birds -- at least to myself and likely many others.
1. We all are aware that Parker Reproductions were produced in DHE, BHE and A-1 Special Grades in 12, 16, 20, 28ga. and .410 bore, as well as several commemorative editions. But, were you aware Parker Reproductions were considering an AAHE Grade offering as well? This Parker Reproduction AAHE 20ga. 2-bbl. set shown below is likely to be one-of-a-kind and the only one in existence. S/N 20-241. Sold for $19,200.00.
2. We are also aware that the Sporting Clays Classic model in an edition of only 125 was originally offered only in DHE Grade as a 12ga. w/28" bbls. But, the Sporting Clays shotgun shown below in BHE Grade is the first one I've ever seen or encountered. (Note: G&D, correctly, did not identify this as a Sporting Clays Classic model.) This gun was made up with 32" non-original Parker Reproduction barrels having Briley choke tubes. S/N 12-0063. Sold for $4,680.00.
