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.

I have a photo of my father with this gun in one hand while retrieving a quail with his other hand from Ginger his Brittany Spaniel. I believe the photo was taken somewhere near Brewster, FL in the 40's as this is where my grandfather lived at the time. As some of you may know, the town of Brewster no longer exists and is listed in the register of Florida ghost towns. Just curious if anyone is interested in viewing the photo, and if so which forum thread should it be placed in?

***Sorry, I missed the photo when I posted this -- great photo!!!***
John, Welcome! I would love to see the photo you reference, and I'd bet there are more here that would also. It might be best posted in the "hunting with Parkers" section, but I'm sure it might fit in other places also. I can't wait to see the gun. I think it would be interesting and informative to see what someone would order for quail during that time period (and in the deep South). If you get a letter, how nice would it be to have it with your grandfather's name attached to the order?! For a Parker owner, it does not get much better.
