Default Gun Show July 12,13

Well I just all the cases back in their places and all guns put up and cleaned, the show last weekend was a disappointment, for sure, was told a lot of collectors would be in attendance only a very few, most were ammo and black guns and survival gear, I did have a lot of interest in my 4 table display and was asked to make the next show since some in attendance had commented on my display, a winter show is better I was told, Good thing, Mr Mike Smith showed up and took photos of the display, and we had a good Saturday afternoon discussing Parkers, and looking at some my son had brought , one was a VH 30" 1=1/2 frame sent back to the factory to have 2" cut off barrels add Lyman site and make a set of 32" twist 20g a barrels for it, all confirmed by a letter, as soon as Mike sends me the photos I will post them or he can if he wants Gary

Gary, it was great seeing you and Randall again. I'm sorry the show wasn't what it was made out to be. At least there were some real guns amongst the sea of black thanks to you! I'm assuming that Sunday didn't get any better. You had one heck of a nice display though.

Mike

Gary always has the nicest displays. There are others who put this much effort and expense into their displays and display space, but not many. I'm sure Gary is very proud of his fine collection of Parkers and we are proud to call him our friend. He represents the Parker collector very well.

Check out that second picture. How many times do you get to see a display with an 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, and 20 gauge Hammer Guns? And all in high condition. Amazing.
