They are well documented and known to the old Parker experts, but we have new people here (thankfully) for whom this four barrel set is not known and has a high wow factor. For the new folks, these guns have long been in play among top collectors, and for those with a genuine interest and ability to acquire, there are people to call and discuss them.

I believe Mr. Chaddick was one of the last to run a color ad for this gun. If I recall correctly, the asking price was a quarter million. Mr. Green was not a high average skeet shooter, but he ran in high average circles. Doctor Metcalf, Joe George and a couple of other illustrious Maryland shooters were his squadmates. Nash Buckingham hunted with a waterfowler of the same name, but I have not been able to pin down whether Mr. Cliff Green, the Maryland waterfowler, was the same guy. Mr. Buck was shooting with Cliff Green the day he lost Bo Whoop. Joe George, Green's squadmate is the Grand Old Man of Maryland skeet, winning events well into old age. Many of us knew Joe George's son, Johnny George, the proprietor of J&P Sporting Clays in Sudlersville, Maryland. Paperwork for this gun indicates a $700.00 retail if I recall correctly.
