28ga Two Barrel Set

[James L. Martin]

I would not worry about the case coloring as they wear off easily, or a nick in a used hunting gun. Don't know about the ripple with out seeing it. I have a single barrel 28ga repro with double triggers and they are hard to find. Since it's a used gun I would like to pay around $6500. Just my opinion

James,

The gun is on “consignment”. He’s asking $9,500. If I could get it for $6,500 I probably would. That seems like a pretty big gap to bridge.

Best,
Brett

Yea $9500 is too much

$2695 was the closeout price at Jaqua's, Guns Unlimited, and Cape Outfitters. A great piece of Parker Repro history. Not a bad rate of return.

I was in Jaquas regurlarly during that period and there were a lot of them for sale. When I first saw them they were stacked 3 feet high boxed up in the middle of the store. They took a while to sell, and if I remember when the stack got pretty short they were $1895 in the store, but I may not be correct.

Yup, the one barrel guns were $1895. The two barrel sets (with beavertail ?) were $2695. I wanted a one barrel set, but none of the dealers had one barrel 28" 28 gauges with double triggers. Guns Unlimited had three two barrel sets with beavertail, straight grip, and double triggers. The lady taking my order opened all three boxes and picked the one she liked the best and sent it to me. Years before the closeout, two friends bought 28 gauge, 28", splinter, double trigger guns with consecutive serial numbers. Another identical consecutive numbered gun was offered, but I wasn't up to the $3370 retail price because I had a BHE .410 on order with no idea what that one would cost. Just last year, the third consecutive gun came up on Gunbroker and I ended up buying it. The second one of the first two ended up with one of my friends. Some day I may end up buying those two.

To all

I have owned a lot of Parker guns & a few repos, just remember one thing about all of them " an iffy gun will always be an iffy gun "!!!!! During my collecting life, I have WALKED on a lot of iffy guns. The climb was not worth the view .

Greg, I think most of the closeout ads were for $1895. This ad just posted is the first one I have ever seen that mentions $1995. We have a file of Repro paper somewhere on this site.

Assuming an inflation rate of 6% The price would double every 12 years. 24 years later, the closeout price today would be $10,780
