Drew, Do you know whether or not the gun is original to the case, looks like it don/t fit just right or maybe it was put in that way for the photo? My brother owns 01943, Gary

I really know nothing about it, I just came across the auction and felt inspired to post about it in case someone had the money and time to go get it.

I owned 01248 for a few years. I bought it and several Parkers at an auction in Portland, Oregon when a collection owned by Mr. Christensen (spelling?) was sold. 1992, as I recall. I bought a T-latch, an 8-gauge top action, and a very nice CHE Bernard -- these along with the 01248 are shown in TPS. Wish I had kept them but I believe most are now owned by PGCA members.

That presale estimate has to be a joke.

Yes George, and the joke was on me. Both of those were mine and they were given away. I'll know better in the future. However, a PGCA Member in Texas was the fortunate buyer. He called me tonight and asked me to help him with the shipping.
The Grade 3 (D) 10 gauge hammergun was mine as well. It went for $1,200 George |
