Thanks Mike for the invite to Sanford, NC April 23, 24, 25 and 26. That would be great to see that show, meet the members, and all those Parker's. Not sure I will be able to make it, but you never know.

Thanks,

Ralph

Wonder if Pachmayr might have any surviving records of work done on this gun? With the looks of the stock work, and the gun being in California, the first thing that popped into my mind was old August himself.

And the Pachmayr pad is a pretty big clue too.

Ralph, I bought my first Parker single in 1971, been buying them ever since. I even sold one one time, a mistake of my own making. I have a small flock of SC grades, two of them 20 gauges, a nice SB, and a Runge engraved SAA upgrade. I would like to find a nice A, have missed a couple. The last SA1 Special sold at auction was a bit beyond my comfort zone. I've been shooting the singles for 48 years so far.

Good on you. They were (and are) made to be used. Most of our SBTs probably get more use than all the rest of our Parkers put together.

Don't know if this qualifies as "nice" --

It would be a great place to start until an original one comes along.
I typically don't care for the colors that DelGrego puts on these guns, but that whole package isn't bad looking. Of course they always pick one that's not in the book...

"Hmmm" is an interesting comment. However, no one, including the seller, is representing that gun as an original A grade. Stock book entries will usually identify a single by grade, I think. Don't know if that particular gun is in the stock books however.____Further checking results in "No information available on that serial number."

Jeff is correct. I've probably run more shells through my SB and SC than all my other guns combined.
