Default What would you like to add to your Parker collection in 18??

What would you like to add to your Parker collection in 2018?? I know most times if your looking to fill a slot in your gun collection it never comes along. I'm still in the hunt for a nice green pine cone catalog and original #3 frame 12ga's in P,G and V grade. 2017 was a good year I sold a GHE 16ga, 12ga CHE Bernard and a 12ga D hammer gun, I bought a NH #6 frame 10ga and a project DH with a Monte Carlo stock. What about you??

First a GH 16 Damascus 26" or 28" on an 0 frame ( a VH in the same configuration with fluid steel would be ok as well) . Secondly a VH or VHE 28 gauge preferably 26 or 28 inch barrels . And lastly an EH or NH 26" or 28" hopefully with rather open chokes ����. We do all the factory repair work in the USA for Fausti and I realize they're not Parkers but I've had it in my head for about five years I'd like one of the Fausti O/U double rifles in 444 Marlin .

High condition small bore Parkers. Especially hammer guns. But I would rather not buy any more unfired Parkers - just very high original condition.

Something smaller than a 12 gauge.. A 16 gauge 0 frame, PH or GH choked for upland hunting.

what I am looking forward to

that mythical "been in one family since new 10 gauge" for which, one of my favorite antique dealers, says he has said he has a deal going on- for the last month

saw him yesterday - he told me the owner was in this week - still didn't bring it in

other than that -- a 16 gauge hammer gun, that hole may be filled -i'll know soon

I've got, at last count, 8 20ga. Parkers from 26"-32", damascus and steel, 4 16ga. from 26"-32", damascus and steel and 2 28ga. I'm not saying I would'nt jump on another if the right smallbore Parker came along but right now I'm focusing on smallbore (20ga) Foxes.
