Default New Home Page Picture

That's a really nice picture of one of Craig L.'s beautiful Grade 4 Parkers. Thanks to both Craig for his willingness to share his wonderful Parkers and to John Dunkle for putting it up there for our viewing pleasure.

We'll be seeing more of Craig's fine Parkers in his article "Four Tens" in the Winter Issue of Parker Pages on his 10 gauge Parkers.

Dean: Thanks for your nice comments and thanks to my good friend Mark Kircher for suggesting it as a monthly home page picture.
My collection of Parkers is modest compared to the great ones but I really enjoy writing about my collecting focus and my guns. They are not the finest and most valuable but the type that are within the reach of many PGCA members.

Craig, I think your statement here sums up collecting for many of us. Value is hard to define for those of us who love -- and use -- our Parkers.

Wonderful photo, BTW.
