Default Early Vegas report

Wonderful time meeting and talking with all my imaginary internet friends; Parker and otherwise. I particularly enjoyed talking vintage trap shooters and seeing some of Chris Lien's incredible collection of pictures

Great to put faces with names now; and here are a few

Parker guys



Lefever guy



Lefever/Baker/High grade American stuff & Pinfire guy



The pic of the Parker/Remington/Fox researcher extraordinaire didn't turn out

And the dork hard at work

Boy would I like to hang out at it table. Looks very interesting. I think you should go the Colby gunshow.

It was great to meet Drew in person. And the Lien family as well.

Drew, It was great to meet you and to meet some others who I only knew online. I thought it was a fun show

Can we hear a little about the banquet theme gun(s)? What was there and what won?

The banquet theme brought in a variety of great Parkers. No. 1 was a C grade 20 gauge hammer gun with (original) fluid steel barrels. No. 2 was Clark Gable's DHE. I can't remember no. 3 right now. My favorite was a Columbian Exposition gun with phenomenal engraving. Some people brought their first Parker. Some people brought family heirloom Parkers. It was an interesting mix.

Paul Dorsa, who is a longtime collector, PGCA life member and owner of the Clark Gable DHE. He gave a good talk

Did anyone think to record or videotape Paul's talk?
