"While shooting field hand trap on the farm with his four sons, the gun's recoil caused his thumb to strike his nose. He went home with a headache and died the following day of a cerebral hemorrhage."
Sad story. You don't hear too often about someone getting killed from that end of a gun. |

Sad story for sure! My first Parker was a PH steel barrel gun with 30" tubes, bought the gun at Colonial gun shop in Hillsborough N.C. I always stopped by the shop on my way to the mountains, I bought some very nice guns from Colonial, sorry they are no longer in business, they started my interest in the Parker gun, this was in early 1990.and no I do not have the gun any longer, Gary

Mine is a 12 gauge DH that I bought at auction in Theresa, NY. I have written about this gun twice in Parker Pages. I am the second owner. The first having purchased it through a gun shop in Watertown, NY. He was a member of the Snell family. The gun shop paid $68 to Parker Bros. I assume Mr Snell paid the $100 list. With the gun, I received the original hang tag and the catalog used to order it. Ordered in 1916. I still have it and it will probably be the last to go. The Snells took very good care of it and it is a 90 to 95 percent gun.

When I was old enough to shoot trap, I shot my grandfathers SC. When I moved to Harrisburg there was a trap club 2 miles away. I asked my grandfather if I could borrow the gun. He handed it to me and said, "it's yours, just take care of it." It will be the last to go!

Mine is a VH 20 bore left to me by my father in law. His brother collected Parkers and Foxes and "made him" get the gun 50 years or so ago when they shot birds together in Augusta. He shot it a few times and put it up. Too nice to take in the brush. I hope he wasn't too upset with me yesterday, but our birds do not set next to mowed lanes and manicured rows...

I love how connections get made on our PGCA website. I now count as great friends several people who I would have never met had it not been for these forums.
Best wishes to George and Kent for some interesting discussions. Dave
