Zane Gray had a GH 20 pictured in Larry Baer’s book. I would love to own that one someday

Morris has Burt Spiller's 20 gauge VH. It is rumored that the VH was not Spiller's best Parker, and it is rumored that Corey Ford's GH is for sale.

Any gun of Corey Ford’s would be a prize. A Parker of his would be priceless

Larry Brown writes a column for each bi-monthly issue in the Pointing Dog Journal and is the author of the long ago sold-out book A Pheasant Hunter's Notebook has owned several Parkers and Parker Reproductions. Larry currently owns and shoots a Parker Reproduction DHE 20/16 bi-gauge set.

I also believe that Mike Gaddis used a Parker for most of his early days. He mentions it in several of his short stories.

Great information! Thanks to those of you who have replied. I had not originally thought of surveying more contemporary writers, but now I will. And in saying that, I will add our own Mills M. to the list. My well-thumbed copies of his two books most certainly are the work of a Parker user.
Any more leads? I am especially looking for those that mentioned their Parkers in their writings.

There was a nice article in the DGJ not long ago about Leopold's Fox. He ordered it without a safety as I remember.

Is it mentioned in any of his writings? Where was that picture published? SRH |
