Interesting Parker...Lot 2081

Boy this is a rough old girl...Lot 2087

You think these two sleeved guns Lot 2017 and Lot 2002 will get close to the Estimate ?

A bit improved from the first one but..

Some condition descriptions would certainly help the absentee buyer.Very few lots have them most don't even provide basic info like choke,chamber,DAH for instance.

Once again better pics would help,they are improved a bit but not close to the ones at the gun auction houses.

Dave, you might as well get used to Obama, he is our Prez. It's like when your football team gets a new quarterback, you might as well root for him cause nobody else is going to lead the offense into the endzone. (I was for Mc Cain also just for the record)

Dave: If you will e-mail Charlton Hall with your specific questions on specific lots they will try to get your questions answered prior to the auction. I was there today & answered some that had been sent in. You can only get so much info in the catalogue. I thought the pictures this year were as good as any I've seen in the major gun auctions and better than some.

Best Regards, George

Small Bore-

I appreciate your offer.

Do you know if the guns are being sold with No Reserve?

BTW: as you know it's what you can't just see that matters. All the UK houses provide bore/wall measurements. So does Julia - probably the most successful gun auctioneer in the US.

Thanks

OWD

Questions:
Bbls: Any pitting? Any dents, dings, or bulges? Bbl wall & bore measurements? What was it originally proofed for?

Wood: Any splits or cracks? Has it been refinished? Has the checkering been recut?

Overall: Ejectors or extractors? Do all the serial #s match? Is the gun tight and on the face? Anything broken or not working - triggers, cocking mechanism, worn sears (light trigger pulls) safety, etc?

Thanks

From the description....Quote:

"This is a very nicely scroll-engraved Westley Richards boxlock, built as in the original Anson & Deeley patent, with a bolted top-lever and doll's head and without Purdey under-bolts."

Is top lever and dolls head the only lock up on this gun ?

Yup - that's the original Anson & Deeley patent. That's why the action looks so sleek and trim. There's only one lump coming off the bbls.

Later on Westley added the double lumps and Purdey-style. This made the actions squarer, though.

I guess that's an example of the claim that you could hold the barrels shut with one finger when you fire a SxS.
