Those estimates, unlike David's opinion that provenance won't make any difference, are more in the ballpark. That would mean that "provenance should make a 100% to 150% difference in value compared to a gun with no provenance. Working from base A-1 values, these two posters estimate that the Czar's gun will sell for two to three times the value of an A-1 without provenance. I agree, but will raise them another 100%. I would even accept a little surface rust.

Is there any chance this Parker was used at the Battle of Little Big Horn? Maybe someone could "find" an old shotgun shell on the battlefield and tie it to the gun?
8bore - will do.
Thanks
OWD

It would be nice if Tony Galazan would just get on here and tell us all the truth about this gun that he made up.

A paper trail has always been important to all guns/rifles.
The right original owner could breath life into the flagging high-grade classics market.

I hope that Doug T. is referring to the "Not the Czar's Gun" rather than the one coming up for sale. But who knows?

The one in the Parker story with the gold wire border work on the checkering. I am not sure what gun is offered in the auction.

You would be very surprised what paper work has been made for guns over the years.

Doug, the gun being offered at Julia's is the gun that was supposedly ordered for the Czar by a Russian Colonel. Tony's gun, the "gold gun" is still in Herzog's gun safe. If Tony will come clean about the "gold gun", will you tell us if you had anything to do with it? Merry Christmas. Bill Murphy
