Charlie instead of hunting that last turkey you should have been home coming up with ideas for an interesting thread. This is a great thread. My first Parker is the GH 12 gauge that I recently posted in photos. I love the gun. When I take it out whether to shoot clay targets at my home or hunting I sometimes just sit and admire the workmanship on the gun.

Yeah neat thread...my first was a CH Bernard,#1 frame 12,I bought this gun sight unseen and figured what the %$#@ it's a Parker ,if its junk I could use the parts down the road,after a stock replacement for the broken non original it came with it takes pride of place for me,a later set of 16 gauge steel barrel's makes it even better.
But the best part is that it came to my door for less than $200.00,I got one dandy of a surprise when I opened the box ! |

When I was a kid, my Father shot a pair of AE-Grade Remington Model 1894s for upland game and had a 12-gauge, 30-inch full choke, Remington "The Sportsman" for dem web footed fowls. In 1959 he succumbed to the short barrel rantings of Jack O'Connor and had "The Sportsman" whacked to 26-inch with a Poly-Choke. Before the start of the 1960 season "The Sportsman" was gone and he had a 12-gauge, 30-inch, 2-frame, VH-Grade, Parker Bros. that had been shipped to Seattle Hardware Co. in July 1902.
While I shot my Father's a lot, I didn't buy a Parker Bros. myself until May 1996, an NH-Grade 3-frame 10-gauge. |

What was your first parker
Mine was a SC Single Barrel Trap gun. The top gun in the photo. It was not long after that I added a second. It too was a SBT, a SB grade.
