Yes Barnett has that gun it’ll be at the Southern if not sold before . From what I saw at the Southern my previous vist , it’s a lot like the Baltimore Gun Show . By that I mean not unusual to see a guy walk up with a brief case full of money and buy something of five digits or better .

I’ve been in contact with that auction house ever since I saw this thread . And frankly they’re difficult to do buisness with or so it seems . They don’t want to post decent pictures , they’re very hesitant to ship ! They also want all your CC info if you leave a proxy bid so if you win they can charge you right then . I was going to leave a bid on one item but I’ve pretty much talked myself out of it . Most places are happy to make decent pics available to perspective buyers and don’t mind sending an invoice and letting you pay by CC or cashiers check . I asked a bunch of questions and suffice to say they weren’t to aware of what I asked even though any gun auctioneer should know

Yup, walk away just walk away.

They’ve supposedly got a PH 10 gauge with 36” barrels that intrested me as well as a DH 10 gauge with 28” barrels . It didn’t take long for me to figure out the DH was not a 10 but rather a 12 . The PH isn’t in the serialization book but supposedly there are factory records available for $42 . But “The Parker Story” claims only one PH 10 gauge 36” and that ones twist steel . The slight picture they have of this gun it appears fluid steel or blues over twist .

I told another guy in the Parker Association about the auction and specifically the 36” gun as he like myself has a soft spot for 10 gauge guns . He probably already knew about it but I told him just the same .

Well I got an email from these guys today saying this auction would be internet only . Along with a link to their online auction thing . So I looked , low and behold they had pics not exactly what I’d asked for but pics none the less . So I signed up to bid . It looks like all have been restored/refinished but for the right price I can deal with it .
