I passed on a BHE 16 gauge skeet gun with vent rib back in the 60s in near mint condition and 0 frame for $1750!!! If it had been a 20 or smaller gauge it would have been mine. Bobby

Not buying Clark Gables Parker back in the '80's I believe. Often while watching Turner Classic Movies my wife will say "I wish you would have bought Clark Gable's Parker". I would had to have taken out a loan at the time but should have. It would be worth more today and the idea of it is neat.

Was it Carol Lombard who inherited Gable's or did she have one of her own?

Lombard predeceased Gable. She died in airplane crash returning from war bond drive. Supposedly she was the one who purchased it for him though. The way I remember it Dave Riffle in Florida had it advertised, CHE 20 about $10-12K. |

"paralysis by analysis" is been an issue with me for years, hence losing multiple fine firearms to other shooters and collectors.

When was it advertised at that price? A bit too cheaply by today’s evaluation standards, don’t ya think?

Dave Riffle! That's a name from the past. Just looked at his website. Appears to not have been updated since 2019. His business was only 15 minutes away from our rental in FL. Years ago, tried to contact him about coming over to see his wares, and he couldn't have been more rude
