SBT # 181261
A few months back an old classmate and I were discussing Parkers. He has a SBT with some good local history. It once belonged to a local gun shop / feed store owner. This is where I and a buddy spent our lunch hours making sure his guns were well appreciated. He was always good natured knowing when we were old enough he would make a sale.
My classmate wouldn't consider selling his SBT at this time. He had a pair of Parker stocks he asked if I could sell and I did.
Three days ago the classmate gives a call. There is another SBT in town. It made yearly trips to Vandalia with the father of the current owner, my classmates father and the gun shop / feed store owner and it was for sale. The current owner turns out to be my third cousin. I see him now and again--we just never talked guns. There was a call, a meeting this morning and a new SBT owner.
A letter is next then we will see what other stories the gun will tell.
