Here’s something on Gunbroker.com I’ve never seen: an original 1891 Lefever catalog.

Time ran out and one lucky bidder walked away with a hell of a Parker 8 gauge. This gun sold for $11,780.00. That’s a pretty good price for a damascus barreled side by side, double barrel Parker.

Passion is insanity. I’m passionate about hunting dogs, double barrel shotguns, and bird hunting. Sometimes, this passion drives me to do crazy things.
Boss & Co., James Purdey & Sons, and Holland & Holland are known as the three top gunmakers in London. For 150+ years, they’ve made some of the finest doubles in the world. [...]
