Gable and Gary Cooper in Sun Valley. Looks to be the A-1S leaning against the car? Gable is holding a straight stock ?small gauge.

I held Clark Gables A1 Special while visiting
Ottis Odom in 1985, Mr Odom said there was a million dollars in Parkers in that room. I did not know much about Parkers at that time but he had a lot of small gauge
Parkers. HE said he was the best customer of the
Delgrego family getting Parkers fixed and upgraded.

That would be Odis Odom.

Just before the break-in and burglary when 2 local thugs terrorized his wife, Odis' count was, I believe, 68 28 gauge Parkers and 42 .410 gauge Parkers.

While the thugs never even knew about his guns or where they were hidden, they so terrorized his wife (he wasn't home at the time) that he immediately began to sell off his most valuable guns, contemplating what might have happened to his wife had the thieves known that he had them.

Odis was a prime client of the Del Gregos, but does not hold the record for having Parkers "fixed" and upgraded by them.
