Default Dr. Harvey Munshaw Parker Collection?

Does anyone know anything about a Parker collector from the Kansas City area by the name of Harvey Munshaw? A quick and simple search found one forum entry about an A1 Special that Dr. Munshaw owned, and also something about his estate (the guns in it, that is). That reference was from 2015.

Anyone know Munshaw, or know of his Parkers?

I don't know that they were auctioned, and would have no idea where to begin. I'm asking for a friend who knew Munshaw. He told me that Munshaw claimed to have quite the collection, and the forum post I did find mentioned that A1 Special. With guns of that ilk, I assumed that some member might be able to shed some light on Munshaw and/or his Parkers.

Really nice guns fairly valued are seldom publicly offered.

I found that Munshaw's guns (at least those still with his estate), were sold at an estate sale in Independence, MO in January of 1990. By the listings of the other "stuff" he had, there were likely some nice Parker shotguns. Munshaw was apparently quite the skeet and trap shooter also. I'm surprised no one from here knew him. He was only 58 when he died in 1989.
