What are your Parker goals for 2019?

[Craig Larter]

I would like to find a early BH 10ga 30 or 32. I would have to sell my BH 12ga to offset the cost. That way my 10ga Parker hammerless collection would be complete as I have a DE, CE and AE. I know of one BH 10 ga and maybe the owner will decide to let it go this year. Parker only made 28 I think so my chances are very low of finding one.

What, no G or P or even V?

I wanna find a VH/VHE 28 on a 00 frame , a 16 gauge GH on an 0 frame , an EH 10 with factory original 26” barrels and the real needle in the haystack an EH 10 with factory original 24” barrels . And yeah if they were acquired they’d be used by me ! Oh yeah Grade 2 top lever 10’s on 4 and 5 frames wouldn’t be turned down .

Did you miss that refinished 28 VH in Madison that sold for $3900 last year? It looked to be a nice gun. A friend of mine told me about it after the auction was over and he knew I would have been interested. A lot of good that did.

I was at the auction standing there watching . The barrels were cut the metal was loosely called refinished , the wood was refinished , the barrels had been cut , the wood to metal fit was horrible , gun was an 0 frame as well as I can remember the serial number dated it at 1902 or 3 . You missed nothing , if you had purchased it you woulda've had a small fortune in it to make it decent and it would always be not anywhere near the way it left the factory .

Completing my 00 frame 28 gauge custom project, my 0 frame 20 gauge repair and restoration to "age appropriate" condition, begin restoration work on my $150 grade early lifter short 10, and decide what to do with the D grade top lever 10 that needs re-jointing.

And bargain hunting!

[C.O.B.]

My first order of business it to decide what two Parkers to add for my upcoming January quail hunt. I take 6 guns for a three day hunt and there are 4
that are a must go. The two additions will be 20's maybe a 28 (I'm already taking a hammer gun in 28) something from the dark corners of the tomb, perhaps the Damascus CHE or GHE 20's who knows it's a conundrum for sure

The next step is to keep my net worth intact at the Southern

Ike will get a girlfriend the end of spring or early summer depending on the breeding dates so a month to six weeks in the U.P. with Ike, Molly several Parkers and a couple of English guns is definitely on the calendar.

The thing with goals however is once achieved they no longer motivate so lets all strive to keep achieving
