Second Oldest Parker Known?

[Jay Oliver]

When/Where did the one you post sell? $10k seems a bit high, but then I might be behind the times.

I had a few chances to buy a Parker cased lifter in a factory wood case and I don't know why, but I didn't buy one. Of course now I wish I did. I might have to have one made.

I do have a a nice 14 gauge back action around 1000 serial #.

The subject gun sold yesterday at auction in Indiana.
Final bid was $9000 plus 15% buyer's premium. Assume sales tax would be charged (7-9%) and then shipping if one dared to do so!

I bid on it a while since there was little action ahead of the auction but it became way more expensive than I wanted to invest, especially since my knowledge about it was limited.

We would like to see the Indiana auction so we can see how it was represented. Thanks.
