Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Live Bird Guns
It would be my opinion that a seriously owned and used live bird gun with no alterations to stock or pad would be among the scarcest of the rare. Take a look at some of those Iron Men of Gundom; rags wrapped around the wrist, rasp marks on the comb.
I have a safety less VHE live bird with the same engraving covering the safety slot patch. It has had its monte carlo removed and replaced, the toe adjusted and at least two pitch adjustments still show. I shot it for several years in my club trap league, and filed a little on it myself.
Best, Austin

The gun seems fine for the price you paid if the barrels are OK. Get a PGCA letter. The provenance will determine how much you put into the restoration. You may come up with an original owner who was a famous shooter. Let us know about the letter.
