In the fall of 1972, I was home on leave and went shooting at the old Seattle Skeet & Trap Club at Redmond. In the club house I thumbed through an issue of Shotgun News and found a 28-gauge Model 12 Skeet Gun. First time I ever found one without a Cutts, and it was in Imperial Beach, California. Every morning I drove within a block or so of it on my way to North Island Naval Air Station from my apartment in Chula Vista. Went to look at the gun, and at H. Kinder's was the first time I ever saw two .410-bore Parkers in the same place. Got a signature loan from Navy Federal Credit Union and the 28-gauge Model 12 was mine. My credit wasn't up for the .410-bore Parkers!!
