CZAR NICHOLAS II GUN No.2 ON DISPLAY

[Jean Swanson]

Join us for this special one-time opportunity to view the 2nd Czar Nicholas II Parker gun as well as other very high condition and unique Parkers. Representative selections will be available from the Collection of Charles A. Herzog Sr. at Ruth's Chris Steak House in Cary, NC on April 22nd. Not only will attendees inspect some rare and special Parker guns, but honor a collector of our time, for a lifetime of assembling such wonderful and rare pieces. Do not have regrets on this event---you will not see these guns assembled again.

The Parker Gun Foundation Hall of Fame event is for COLLECTORS and those who really appreciate the gun makers' art. Charles Herzog will be justly honored, along with Jack Puglisi and Herschel Chadick, both posthumously.

We are closing in on capacity and must apprise Ruth's Chris of attendees.

For tickets contact Allan Swanson at 802-885-1152 or email at ahs482@sover.net

This is just an amazing opportunity to see this Parker (and a few prized Parkers in the Charlie Herzog collection - who is a class act) first hand....

Bump - and stick - and well done by The Parker Gun Foundation.. This should be an awesome event...

[Bill Mullins]

Allan is correct....This upcoming Parker Gun Foundation Hall of Fame Induction and Banquet will indeed be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view some of the more outstanding Parker guns to be assembled over many years of searching and collecting! A once only traveling museum indeed!!
In addition, there will be some very interesting humanistic family stories regarding all three inductees!

Charlie Herzog. When he called me yesterday and said he was Charles Herzog, I thought maybe he was in trouble and needed a lawyer.
Foolish me.
He just wanted to make sure I was bringing the only case suitable to display the Famous but Unreal Tsar's Parker.
In my opinion, that gun is right there in the top ten of Parker's that you must see in your lifetime.
And to be able to Honor CHARLES will be a memorable event in itself.
Charles is a great PGCA member and we are so fortunate to have him.
I can't wait.

Mr Herzog has unselfishly given of his time to help build the PGCA into what it is today! There are several key people Charlie has brought into this organization over the years. That aside, he has amassed what I think is a spectacular collection of rare Parker guns, and some of these will be for our viewing pleasure at the HOF banquet. As mentioned you may never see these guns on display together again, As a 2015 inductee I can say it is a humbling experience,an honor, I will never forget, welcome Charlie! Gary

Looking forward to seeing Charlie and the guns. I had no idea the Czars Parker was going to be shown. Glad I have my tickets. One question, what is the 2nd czar Parker?

There was the real "Czar's" gun ordered by a Colonel in the Czar's guard. Speculation was that it was ordered for the Czar. It was never delivered and was not heard from till recently. It was returned and bought by a guy in NY. It resurfaced a few years ago and was sold by Julia's. Galazan upgraded a gun that was represented as the Czar's gun. Truly a work of art but not the real thing. A lawsuit was filed. I think I have my fact pretty accurate. Read the Parker Story.

Nice

Some have a collection of one and some have a collection of many. All are welcome at the banquet.

Ok, I thought that's what it was. I have wanted to see it since I first read about its existence on this forum a few years ago.
