Many thanks to everyone who posted here so far. I met with Josh Lowenstiner today and had him look at my collection. I am also considering Charlton Hall Auctions as I have worked for them in the past when they had guns. Some of the others that you mentioned I will consider as well. I have @ 20 or so Parkers, 10 or so A.H.Fox and a couple L.C. Smith.
over 100 long guns and a number of handguns.

My reasons for wanting to sell are three fold: 1. My age 78 2. The fact that no one in my family appreciates old guns and 3. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY my oldest child, my daughter Lisha, is suffering from stage 5 brain cancer. She has had two operations at Duke Medical and will have to have at least one more. Right now she is doing great and she loves to travel. This is how I plan to use the proceeds from my selling my collection. I've enjoyed it long enough and it's time for others to have the pleasure.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN FOR YOUR INPUT AND ADVICE........Best Regards, George

What a tribute to the love a father feels for his daughter. From all of us dads of daughters, George, our hat is off to you, and we salute your decision. May these decisions go well.

All the best,
Dave

George

Your acts of kindness are wonderful, daughters are special !! She will appreciate that .

As for contributions---a 501(c)7 is only formed as a non profit Corp. for tax purposes only. A 501(c)3 however has a clause where contributions are deductible as a non profit corp. I could be wrong, but that is one of the reasons the Parker Gun Foundation was formed .

George, what else can a Dad do? How better can a Dad express his perfect love for his child than to divest himself of his cherished possessions for the benefit of that child? And God will take care of the rest.

You have been a welcome presence here on the Forum and in the PGCA and we hope that continues even after you have no more Parkers. Friendships are made through the common interest in Parker guns but the thing that keeps us together as friends goes way beyond Parkers.

Best, Dean
