The history of this fellow ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Tudor_Jones If you read into it far enough you see he hosted a fundraiser for the chump in the white house . That is a huge strike against the guy in my opinion ! |

He is also selling a bunch of his sporting art at the guyette and deeter auction. I believe some of the great decoys in that auction are coming from another wall Street trader's collection Jim Cook.

Just for info, Parker was the main producer of 8 gauges of the quality american double gun makers. Their 400 plus certainly outranks LC Smith's approximate 30 and Lefevers, fewer than that. In 50 years of gun collecting I have seen only one Lefever 8. It was a beat, cut barreled gun. For additional info, in my second to last job of my career, the toolroom at the manufacturing plant was run by two Lefevers. Both great grandsons of the original. Excellent machinists but neither owned any guns but did have one early catalog that I copied.

There are a few light eights out there. A friend sold a #5 frame gun that was very light, but I don't know the exact weight. One DH 30" eight in my collection weighs exactly ten pounds, a real lighty. It is the only 30" hammerless eight in the stock books. It was ordered by T.H. Keller, a waterfowler's waterfowler.

I stopped by after skeet shooting today and checked on the Lefever 8-gauge bird gun. We put it on the scale and it was a svelte 11 pounds 14.1 ounces.
