Best Deal on a Parker in your Buying Career

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

A 16 gauge Parker Trojan in 95% original condition but advertised as refinished and priced accordingly.

My first Parker is my favorite deal. A VH 28 gauge I bought on a skeet field for $130 as I recall. The longest search is an A. P. Curtis Parker try gun that I first saw as a very young man and finally pried it away from the owner probably thirty years later. The best financial deal was a near gift from a shooting friend, an AHE double trap with a long Maryland history. I said "near gift", but that was a bit of an understatement. I told the owner that the gun was worth over ten thousand dollars. He insisted that I write him a check for $2200.00. I don't know his motivation, but I have had decades of enjoyment from that gun.

Almost 20 years ago I bought a DH 12 gauge off one of the internet gun sites. Bad pictures and no mention of the grade, but I could tell it had substantial engraving. Price was $400, so I bit. After receiving the gun, I ordered a letter. That revealed the gun had been ordered by a guy named Fred Kimble of Peoria, Illinois. The rest is history.

I saw a BHE 20 with 28 inch barrels listed in a local classified Athens and contacted seller and met him same day Closed the deal and owned it next day! I cannot seem to hold on to high grade guns long and sold it in a couple of weeks for nice profit. Bobby

The Fox addiction never really goes away, does it Bill?

I have a GH 16 I got for $255 and is all there. A case of looking worse in the online photos than it is in real life

It sure doesn't Stan.

Might even get worse!

My best (and favorite) two Parkers were free to me. They were inherited from my great grandfather who was the first purchaser. Somehow family guns go to the head of the line. I hunt with them regularly. A real bit of old Iowa.
