Hi I'm new to the forum. I'm a younger guy being only 28 but I have been into antique sporting items since I was about 4 years old. Have turned it into a side business. Buying and selling pre-1940 items. I also restore antique cars for a living. My wife and I are into the vintage lifestyle and are getting into shooting more. I'm drawn to Parkers and the forum seems the logical place to start and learn. I have family that is in an Edwardian shooting club not sure if its Vintagers or not. But he has one of the biggest sporting book collections totaling around 3000+ volumes from the 1870s-1975 I believe. And has a large collection of shotguns. He and a close friend are big into 8 gauge guns. Guess its only nautral I make the leap into this.
