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.

Eight years ago, at a small auction in W. Palm Beach Fl., I picked up a C grade 2 frame serial number 90681 listed as Ti4 S 12ga 28”. Some idiot hack sawed both sets of Barrels to 14”. The gun left Meridan with a dogs head butt plate and 28” Titanic steel Barrels IM and IM and a second set of 30” F and F with matching forends. Got it for no money so Chris Dawe redid the wood and I had a set of Vulcan steel Barrels that went on the gun like they were made for it. That gun now resides I Kansas and the owner just loves it. Weighed 8 pounds and balanced beautifully. Very early grade 4 with Titanic steel Barrels leaving Meridan early 1899.
