Great report, Randy! Thanks for the photos.
I hope we get to see the one that the unnamed member purchased.  He has pretty good taste...or, hmmm...maybe it's not him(?)

Great report Randy!
There was a few Parkers, nothing real real exciting. The early lifter with the pigeon and pigeon shooter was intriguing. There was a few Ithaca shotguns. I could count on 1 hand the amount of Ithaca doubles, even less Fox shotguns. The 7E Knick was interesting, although I would question the originality of the finishes. There will be a Grade 4 Lifter arriving in PA later this week possibly, it was for sale for a good while and I was able to strike a deal after some help by Randy on the inspection. A grade 4 12 with Parker Laminated barrels, hence my interest, I will post some pictures on arrival. I was fortunate to meet Terry Buffum, (hope my spelling is correct), he is as I understand a Lefever collector from Oregon. Stan |

I like the B grade lifter a lot and would like to see more of it. I would be glad to make 25 thick base shells for the drilled out breech face. The Ithaca Knick has a blued receiver, so I guess "refinished" is a good bet.

unfortunately it does not have matching hammers, so I will be posting photos of each hammer in hopes that I can find a matching hammer. |

Not many grade 4 lifters with laminated barrels. I did some research at one point I will post when I get a chance. Here is another that looks like a twin.

I’m getting a bad case of lifter envy (that is a thing, right?
)
