If you are into Parkersl and collecting them you would understand that price. Two buyers have waited a long time to find and buy one. Years and years with almost none yo be found. So when one comes up the checkbooks get opened up. To me that gun went for several times what I would want to invest into it but then again I have not been waiting years for one.

I hope the new owner enjoys the heck out of it. I also hope it does not end up being refinished and sold in a year or two as a high condition, rare Parker. You might have noticed that seems to happen a lot with Parkers and small bore Fox guns.
