Default What Ever Happened to Parker 241232 ?

This special ordered VHE Trap gun was donated sometime in 2005 by Paul Dorsa to the PGCA - see Parker Pages Vol. 12, Issue 3, page 38 for pictures and a description.
Never in my two terms as BOD member or my 10+ years as editor did I ever handle or even see this gun. Was it raffled to the membership for the revenue? That’s the only valid reason I can think of for its disappearance.

Somebody must have it today - it is unique and quite the Parker collector’s item.

As I recall, we auctioned it off. I may be mistaken but I know we sold it.

Thanks John - that was my presumption but I was unsure. Do we know who has it now? Anybody know?

It was an interesting trap gun . The raised cheek piece could work well for the right person. The PGCA owned the gun and conducted a write in auction . The buyer was a known California collector.
