Default Parker Pages Collectibles

I had three tables at the Duluth Gun Show this past week end and while walking the aisles during slow times, which was most of the time, I spotted a box with a Parker Gun Collector Assoc. label and had to check it out. Inside was a collection of Parker Pages going pretty much back to the start. I asked the Gentleman if he had any info and he said they belonged to Master Engraver Richard Washburn. I could not leave them so took them home with me. It has some interesting little notes and letters from Ron Kirby thanking him for joining and submitting articles for Parker Pages. Thomas

Nice find Thomas and in a box that used to contain a case of shells instead of the current flat.

Full sets of Parker Pages are few and very far between.
I bought a full set way back more than 10 years ago. They are an extremely valuable research resource!

Great find!

This is not a complete set. It is from the date he joined which was Sept. 1994 so has a couple missing. Thomas
