The first I saw the US Cartridge Company 24 gauge was in the late sixties or early seventies when it was in the estate of my fellow gun club member Bob Hess. It was a well whitened gun accompanied by a wood case of Remington 24 gauge shells and a couple of Bob's other Parkers, one of which, his 20 gauge skeet gun, is in my collection today. The next time I saw the gun was at a very early PGCA show where it wore a hideous recase color dress. I may be exaggerating about the condition of the gun, but it looked terrible to me. I hope it has been re restored since.
