what was your first parker

[Scott Fox]

My First Parker was purchased in 1988. It was a well worn DH grade that had the barrels lopped off to 18" and the butt had a slip on rubber pad because someone had removed the skeleton buttplate. This shotgun was on display at my local gunshop behind the counter not for sale, but as a humorous "security device". The owner did not want to sell the gun as he considered it a unsafe wall hanger. It had been hanging there he told me for over twenty five years. I kept pestering him until he finally sold it to me. I loved the engraving on that Parker, and that was what hooked me on Parkers ever since.
