A waterfowl gun can be just about any gun since personal preference plays a major role in gun selection, the same can be said for grouse gun, pheasant gun etc. Generally we think of waterfowl guns as being equipped with longer barrels, tighter chokes in the larger bore sizes. For the purposes of the display and People Choice Award at the annual meeting, if a gun fits your personal definition of a waterfowl gun that is good enough for me and we will give you a slot to display your Parker.

Any Parker that may have been used primarily for waterfowl.
Could be a 20 gauge with 32” barrels and tight chokes - could be an 8 gauge that was shipped to Illinois. Grade matters not - gauge matters not, except that .410’s and 28’s won’t generally get the nod as a waterfowl gun.

We only have 13 guns committed for display, we still have plenty of space available. Please remember you must reserve space(s) prior to the Annual Meeting.

Only 14 guns committed for display so far we have plenty of room for your Parker waterfowl guns. A beautiful trophy for first place and awards for second and third places in the People Choice Award.

I will bring my 1899 DH 12 with 30” Titanic Steel barrels ordered by a Mr. Humswell in the next town south of Portland, ME on the marshy coast. It was ordered with F/F chokes. Not a prize-winning example but an example of a gunner’s gun none the less.

The two I plan to bring are not prize winning either, but are examples of the variety of waterfowl guns produced by Parker
