Parker Pages in Digital Format

A digital archive of all past issues (dating before 2018) of Parker Pages, either on DVD or on a Thumb Drive (USB drive) is available for the low price of $50.

According to copyright law, as well as agreements with some of our authors, these are only  sold to PGCA Members.   If you are not a member of the PGCA, you must first join before placing an order.

These files were created from countless hours, days and weeks of scanning each and every page of each and every issue of Parker Pages from the very first issue, January 1994, through the Autumn 2018 Issue. 

These are fully searchable files - all you need to do is type in a keyword and the system will highlight all articles containing that keyword... It could be a name... it could be a date... it could be a serial number... it could be just about anything you can think of that you would like to find each occurrence of it in all Parker Pages issues.

Be forewarned - If your PC uses Microsoft Edge as a browser, you will not be able to open the files - but virtually ANY other popular browser has no problem opening the files. I use Google Chrome and it opens the files perfectly and you can download Google Chrome (or just about any other browser) right off the World Wide Web.

This Digital Archive of Parker Pages is a great boon to anyone wishing to conduct all types of Parker research.

Research Letter

The PGCA Research Letter program is available to all owners and collectors through mail inquiry. We have completed indexing for all serial numbers in the existing Parker records. The cost for each search will be $40 for PGCA members and $100 for non members. An individual check, payable to PGCA, needs to be included for each gun to be researched. The check will be returned if no record is available for the specified gun. It will take about 30 days to process a request, and the reply will be in letter format.
 

The research records are copies of the original Parker/Remington order books, stock books, and IBM cards. Some are in poor condition, and all are hand written. The Parker records contain many abbreviations and ditto marks. The grade of the gun is not listed in the order book. The price and barrel steel are used to determine grade from the entry. Ejector equipped guns are identified by an extra charge.

The research will include a review of both the order and stock books, and the IBM cards for Remington guns. The Research Committee will report on the gauge, grade, barrel length, stock configuration, butt, triggers, weight, stock dimensions and chokes noted in the record. Additional information will be reported when it is recorded on special orders. The researcher will omit information that cannot be clearly read. Copies of the stock and order book entries will not be included with the letter report. The Research Committee will sign the letter, and PGCA will retain a copy.

The Research Committee will only accept written requests for research letters. A request form is available above, or the request may be made by letter, specifying the serial number of the Parker gun to be searched.
