2020 Parker additions-how about you?

[Craig Larter]

Mills nice job 8 parkers, maybe 9! I always take comfort in knowing others are as active collectors as me! Craig the PH pictures are in the Restoration section of the forum.

A CHE 20, GH 20, and PH 20. The CHE and GH each took wild birds on the first shots fired from them. I'm still looking for the right time and place to use the PH.

I also found original consecutive copies of the first several years of Wilbur Parker's American Sportsman from the early 1870s. Fascinating reading, and like entering a time capsule for period guns and shooting.

A few left, and a few came.......
A GH 12 and a PH 12 found new homes, and then I added a Roundel engraved CHE, a Bernard barreled CH, and a very petite 1 frame CHE 12 being restocked, and a nice condition DHE 12.

Unfortunately no Parkers came my way this year, mainly due to my focusing on a couple of Model-21 custom upgrade projects I've had in the works. I was able to complete the 20ga & then found a 16ga to match it, so now it's in the works.

The 20 is a first year DT, Extractor, 28" gun that I converted to a flat side, English grip, skeleton butt with a ho-hum stick of wood & American prairie bird theme engraving, plus a ducks head on the top lever.

Ho-hum? I don’t think so.

Picked up a 1968 Purdey 12 ga. on the cheap...a friend of a friend going through a divorce who needed cash. Almost in perfect condition.

The Model 21 is beyond wonderful. What are your plans for receiver finish?

I thought it looked like a pretty honest, good looking 21 to begin with but wow! That's a better than average 2x4 they hung on that 21 for you.
