One owner Parker

[Bill Murphy]

My Dad never owned a Parker, but he got me started with Parkers and watched with interest while I bought a few. His favorite gun was his Model 21 20 gauge 28" Skeet Grade. It is still in mint condition because he never carried it in the field and only shot a couple of rounds of skeet with it.

My grandfather's cousin took my dad to the Parker showroom in 1917 and bought him this 1 frame VHE 16 for his birthday. Even though my grandfather worked at Parker, he wouldn't buy him a gun. I don't think the old guy even knew how to bait a hook until he retired. There have been a cord of them since that time, but this one will stay. My dad took me out with him thanksgiving morning. We had just crossed a footbridge when I heard "BOOM...BOOM" (Hey when your 7, it really sounded BIG) He then says to me "You go get those two, I'll get these" That man still walks on water in my mind.
