Here's the pic I see when I click on Home page. Maybe it just hasn't reached Kentucky yet...

Yeah, as a "privileged child of a board member", Danny would have a gold inlaid Parker single. Of course, he can probably beat his Dad in a shootoff. Mike, you mean your gun is our gun of the month and you can't see it? That is a great single. Is it a full Del Grego restoration? I love it.

No Bill, I had no idea my gun is the gun of the month! That's really cool. I'll figure out a way to see it. I bought the gun in its present condition. When I first posted pics of it a couple years ago you suspected it was a Del Grego restore. It has their recoil pad so probably is. Is there any way to tell?

Yep - as I read threads and look at album pics - sometimes I stumble across a wonderful Parker picture, and note it for a monthly Website cover shot...

Congrats!!!

If you know the last name of the person who owned the gun when Del Grego worked on it, they can give you information about the restoration. They do not keep records by serial number unless they started recently.

I just put a check in the mail to get a research letter on the gun. I've heard that some of those early SBT's might have been ordered by pro trap shooters.
