I just searched the PP Digital Archives and found nothing for Otis Odom.

There was an article in DGJ a few years back by (I think) Art Wheaton about Otis's last deal on a 16 ga GH grade.

Our Parker Pages Magazine isn't much different than DGJ ! The Parker articles are always the High Lights for me any way !

Speaking of upgrades I wonder what the general consensus on that Invincible upgrade is , thats on GI .

That’s a huge compliment to our authors Russ. I thank you for them Sir.

Well I can see it being understandable because its highly unlikely most Parker collectors would come into possession of one of the originals .

Personally I love seeing Parkers in the configuration the original owner ordered them as when it comes to the more uncommon ones .

Just speaking for myself , the idea of ever owning an original High Grade Parker 410 is totally out of reality for me , I would have as much trouble locating one as I would have trying to figure out how in the world I would ever pay for it ! I have owned my 410 for better than ten years and have enjoyed it immensely ! I have carried it many ,many times for Woodcock ,Grouse and as previously mentioned ,once a year for Pen Raised Pheasant ! It is an Original Parker 410 Ejector Gun with Engraving from one of the Best factory Engravers and truly is a Joy to Behold ! It is time for it to find a New Caretaker but if it doesn't , it won't Break my Heart either ! I would recommend one to any one who loves Parker Guns !

I have wondered if people sometimes buy project Parker guns to rebuild them to be a configuration that normal would be almost impossible to find on the market .

About to start my third week of “shelter at home” out here in CA and going crazy so thought I would take some pics of latest acquisition. This is a 20 ga with 28 inch barrels choked Mod and Full that started as a a vhe single trigger BVTL gun. Now an upgrade to an A1S. It came with a 28 ga A1S upgrade as well. I normally pay no attention to these but they were very close and reasonably priced.

I believe almost no use since the work was done.

Enjoy.
