Hello, I'm a new member from central Pennsylvania...
 

Hello my name is Thomas. And I have 4 Parker Bros 12GA SxS that I inherited from my father... While I'm pretty knowledgable about centerfire stuff and Smith and Wesson and Colt wheel guns in particular. I know almost nothing about shotguns... My Father was an avid Clay shooter and bird hunter in the late 1960's and on through the 1970's and early 80's... I know he loved these Parkers and I hope to learn about these guns.

Welcome aboard! Show us some Pictures and serial numbers, and we may be able to tell you a bit more about your family's treasures

Yes I intend to do exactly that. Probably in a day or two when I have a chance.

Thomas, Welcome to the Parker world! The forum is only part of our organization. We hope you will become a member for the price of $40 which gives you our quarterly Parker Pages magazine as well as entry into the members only section of the forum. Enjoy your Parker’s!

Welcome Tom, where in PA are you located? I'm in the NE corner.

Hi Thomas ever have any relation in Ohio ?

Not that I know of. But I've always been told that all Meloy's are related... Name gets traced back to five brothers that emigrated to Philadelphia from northern Ireland about the year 1700 or so... LOL, you asked....

My Dad ran with and rode horses with a Tom Meloy his dad was Sid ( I think) just checking Looking forward to seeing your guns .

Yes and we are all named Thomas. Generation after generation of Meloy men all named Thomas! Its actually ridiculous... Oh and a large percentage of them are Doctors... Except for me...
