Just turned 52 over here, I've been doing my best to introduce younger than me folks (mid 40's) to vintage shotguns and old stuff in general. I'll keep trying to lower your age average.

Hello Sir, 36 years old here I've have recently found interest in Parkers always loved the clean lines of a sxs but in my own opinion Parkers and A.H. Fox shotguns are 2 of the nicest American shotguns produced. But anyway I look forward to years of collecting and enjoying them God willing, Steven.

Steven, hang tight and exercise patience. Many of us are long in the tooth (okay, in my case a geezer) and our guns may show up at an auction or three in the not too distant future (but not soon, I hope).

Steven, if you find a Parker for sale privately, make sure you offer the seller about what he told his wife he paid for the gun and not the asking price. Just trying to help a brother out.
