Default “Parker Brothers” article

Those who take the Sporting Classics magazine will find a well written and nostalgic article in its current July/August issue on a young man’s search for a 20 bore Parker. Its author is Mike Gaddis.

Thanks Frank I'll check that out. Somehow the name Mike Gaddis rings a bell and I can't remember why or where.

Ding, ding, ding. The bell has been rung Rick. Now I know where the name Gaddis fits in the equation.

Jenny Willow is a great book for anyone who has not read it.

I saw the article too but haven't read it . I noticed he says 20 gauge Parkers are very expensive and rare which is not quite accurate imho
