Charlie I was thinking the other day when I read about the 8 gauges I automatically think of the English wildfowlers but I believe Parker Bros probably built more 8 gauges than anyone else .

I seen a old auction(2005) listing where a Lefever 8 gauge sold for 4k , I wish those prices were still similar today haha .

Do you have the 8 gauge Lefever that if I remmember correctly was upgraded to an I think it was called Olympus ? Might there be a restocked A-1 Special in your booth as well ????

I’d like to see the Colt 8 that was presented to Grover Cleveland . That one might be in Chantilly at the NRA museum .

Randy,
Just advertise yourself as the human caisson.

I too think maybe parker built the most 8 ga s lc smith built about 50 something 8 s now lefever built very few but I don't know the numbers on it...several single barrels were built by davenport but I m not sure how many...charlie
