Our first was a VHE 12 gauge 30" on a #1 frame . Got it from one of my fathers old coworkers . Fellow named Jerry Amos from the Warenton VA area . Got that gun 40-45 years ago and Jerrys been gone atleast 15 years . And yes still have it . I have a VHE 20 gauge I've known for fifty years and finally acquired three years ago and the person I got it from had owned it since the late 50's after his dad got it for him from the original owner while he was in college .

VH 2 Barrel set 12 Ga. with straight grip that I bought in 1979 and will be in my casket when I go to the happy hunting grounds. That's if my wife doesn't sell it in a yard sale for 20.00 Thomas

A C grade 20 gauge hammer gun my father gave to me in 1980 prior to his death. It will stay in the family hopefully forever.

My very dear friend gave me his GHE 16 upon his death in 1972. Needless to say, it is my most cherished.

Mine was a Grade 3 10 gauge hammergun that I traded for when I was @ 8 years of age (so that was @ 70 years ago) The owner was a local AMOCO dealer who took the gun in trade for gas. He wanted a gun for his little boy & so I traded him my Iver Johnson single barrel 16 gauge even trade. He even through in almost a full box of 10 gauge Super X #4 shot. I still have the Parker.
Best Regards, George

My first association with a Parker was when I was twelve or thirteen in '60 or '61. It was a 12 gauge Trojan I found in my friend's cellar. I asked his father if I could borrow it and use it to hunt pheasants around the fields and woods bordering my property. I was allowed to keep that gun until I moved to a different town in the spring of '64. I have some wonderful memories of hunting with that Trojan. I shot my only double on woodcock with it in '63.
I wrote a story about my adventures with that Trojan in Parker pages, "A Last Trojan Pheasant" but I'll be darned if I can find it in the Parker Pages online index. .

I was introduced to Parkers just over four years ago by my Parker mentor and respected Parker member David Dwyer. I started out with a Trojan 12 gauge which was swapped for a VH 12 gauge with the Trojan's owner. He actually did not want to sell me the Trojan, I believe he just wanted me to have my first Parker. I still have the VH 12 and now two others. All are very close to my heart. Many thanks to my mentor.
