When Greg says the PGCA had the best display of fine guns at the show it's not an exaggeration. Thanks to Robin we had every grade of hammer gun covered and a couple of nice 16 gage hammers Dean brought along. And hammerless guns ranged from Trojan to a beautiful 16 gage grade 7 that drew a lot of attention. Greg did a fine job of putting together a video presentation that he looped on his lap top which added a nice touch to the whole presentation. We managed to sign up a few new members and hopefully sparked an interest in others. And many thanks to Dave for organizing the whole thing and making it happen.

I just want to say Thank You to Dean,Larry and Robin for bringing some great Parkers to display.Also to Greg for a great Power point presentation that was a real show stopper! It really caught alot of attention.Other folks that came and lent their support were Austin,Allan Swanson,Tom Wooden and Jim Malone.
As far as the show itself I think it was a reflection of our dismal economy.Vendors were down 25% and attendance was not what it has been in years past. But a few nice Parkers showed up for our viewing pleasure and good time was had by all.I even helped one of the Fox Collectors board members buy a nice SC Trap gun! The PGCA display was by far the best in the show and it was only accomplished by the work of all who stepped up.Thanks Guys....Now if we can get Mr.Romig to post some pictures...

Thanks to all who participated and showed their Parkers. It has always been a great show and will be next year. Dave, the Fox guys have more Parker singles than we do. We'll have to get busy.

What kind of gunshow is that? No beef jerky or pink samurai swords.

Bill,
I know you like to keep track of small bores so it's worth a mention that Robin Hollow displayed a AHE .410 with a very late serial number. I believe it was 242??? I don't remember the full number but I'm sure someone does. The gun was Runge engraved and had Remington cyanide colors. As you might have guessed the number is not recorded which automatically leads to questions of authenticity. I handled the gun for quite a while and in my opinion the gun is one of two things. It's either a very late Remington gun or a Del Grego/Runge gun that was either put together with left over parts or an upgrade. If it were my gun I would talk with Babe as he is perhaps the only person who could authenticate this gun. The gun is in virtually new condition and if it could be proven to be a late Remington gun it would be very interesting to see what the price tag would be. |

As I recall, the AHE .410 was numbered 242053. Jim Malone will correct me if I'm wrong.
If it can be authenticated as original it would be the steal of the century at the POR quoted. |
