Tony G. was likely the "phantom bidder"acting on Peterson's behalf on the 'lost gun'. Its aquisition brought all 3 of the guns together, Bob Peterson having already purchased the other two from private collectors. Tony's greatest coup may have been producing the larger-than-life color photograph poster showing all 3 guns.

Thanks Kevin, That is what I had heard and you just confirmed it. Would anyone have copies or scans of the Shooting Sportsman articles? I don't have back issues going back that far....

Certain of our members and authors have much more detailed information on the 12 gauge guns and their histories. Deitrich Apel and Gary Herman have much more information on The 16 gauge. Information on the 12 gauges is being held in confidence by trusted friends of previous owners. it will be shared in time, but not before.

Bob Beach shared information available to him through Griffin and Howe about #200,000. I shared information from my files about #200,000 with Austin Hogan, which he wrote about in The Parker Pages. Sorry, I don't have the reference. I am away from my reference material.

FYI... Roger Lake wrote an article in Parker Pages, Vol 8 Issue 6 (Nov/Dec 2001) entitled "The Lost Parker Invincible". Lots of good information to be found in it.

OK here's the skinny, I offered the $5M for all three thinking I could sell the two 12's and have the 16 for free. Seemed like a sound idea but they must have done a background/financial check as I haven't heard of acceptance of this generous offer.

Dave-I have back issues of Shooting Sportsman also check the Library.

Here are the three Invincible Grade Parkers, which are fully owned by the NRA. While at one time they were held by the NRA as trustee, they are now owned. Two are straight hand grip, one is half pistol grip with a foliate or leaf carving. Some have described the grip as "clamshell" carved but I think you will see the difference in the true clamshell grip carving photo following.
