What did that Double Trap hammer for?

Not a Parker but definitely a candidate for best deal of the auction was the restored HJ Hussey "Imperial". Sold for $6,900. Metal work had been refinished and the gun restocked (probably $4k worth of wood work, alone). HJH made ~ 500 guns under the name HJ Hussey and their quality (components, materials, fit and finish) are right up there with the big names. $6,900 was a steal.

I think one of my shooting buddies bought a Hussey, but I don't know which one. Was it a big gun? I just looked. 28" bird gun.

12b, 28". I have two, one 28" and one 30". They are truly exceptional guns by any standard. My 28" gun weights 6-lbs, 3-ozs and is very well balanced. Your buddy did very well.

Sorry for "no answer" to Dave Dwyer's question. There were two exceptions Traps and I don't know which he is referring to. The website has prices posted now.

Very curious about what the jim Corbett Tiger gun went for. I saw it advertised and went and read the book again that night.

$264K. Hope it was you that won it!
