[George Lander]

Mine arrived in the mail today. A great article on Jim Kelly & "The Coffee Can Parker" Jim is one of the best gunsmiths in the country. Also the article by my friend & author John Frierson. "WAY TO GO PARKER PAGES"

Best Regards, George

[John Truitt]

Got mine yesterday. By far the fastest I have ever received one before. I am usually 3 to 4 weeks behind the first recipients.

Great issues as well.

Really enjoyed the article by Brian Dudley as I am considering doing this to a recent purchase. Was a very timely and appropriate article for me. Well done guys. How did you know?

[Daryl Corona]

How did you know?

Dean knows everything that is relevant.:bowdown:

[Mike Franzen]

Got my issue yesterday. It always makes me smile when I see it in the mailbox. Great cover photo too. What a display that man put out for the HOF banquet.

[Phil Yearout]

Got mine Saturday (or maybe it was Friday); haven't had time to crack it open yet!

[Brian Dudley]

Hey Gary Carmichael, i didnt know the Mattie gun was owned by the Tsar.

[Jim DiSpagno]

Mine came today. Thanks Dean

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Yea Brian they got the photos mixed up, the photo showing the Tsar Gun was actually the mattie gun! but I bet the tsar would loved to have owned it! Gary

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

From a distance they do look alike, but the Mattie gun has hammers!

[Dean Romig]

My sincere apologies to all, especially to you Gary. I really have no idea where that picture of The Mattie gun came from. I don't think you sent it to me Gary - and then it got mixed in with the HOF pictures.
It was an editorial error and nobody's fault but mine.

Best, Dean






.

[George M. Purtill]

Don't be sorry Dean- sometimes errors are pretty cool.

[Dave Noreen]

Pretty darn good. This thread started on the 16th and it was in my P.O. Box on the 20th.

[Jim DiSpagno]

Dean, not to worry. Those that make no mistakes do NOTHING.

[Dean Romig]

These pictures of the "Tsar's Parker" are taken from "The Parker Story" by Price, Mullins, et al.

[Dean Romig]

One more...

[Phil Yearout]

My only question would be who is the author of The 8 Gauge Turkey Recipe? I didn't see it attributed to anyone.

[Gary Carmichael Sr]

Dean, You do a great job! Heck I got the Mattie gun in the Parker Pages how neat is that, gary

[Richard Flanders]

My PP even got here a couple of days ago. That's definitely record time.

[Dean Romig]

Dean, You do a great job! Heck I got the Mattie gun in the Parker Pages how neat is that, gary


Gary, I think we'd all like to see a photo-essay and article on your "Mattie Gun" in a future issue of Parker Pages - after we see the "Chicken Thief Gun" of course.

[wayne goerres]

A question went unanswered. Who wrote the 8 gauge Turkey Recipe. Inquiring minds want to know.

[Dean Romig]

The author of the "8-Gauge Turkey Recipe" article is none other than our own Mr. Wayne Owens. Thanks for that well-written and in-depth article Wayne! :clap:


Additionally, Jeff Kuss contributed the "A Trip Thru Parker Brothers" sales pamphlet, originally written by Walter King and published in 1923. Thanks very much Jeff!



.

[Brian Dudley]

The printing of that pamphlet was great to see. I had been wanting to see that. Was not sure if any copies were still out there.

[wayne goerres]

Its a Great article. He should be proud of it.

[Dean Romig]

I agree.





.

[George Lander]

I gave my copy to Jim Kelly at Darlington Gun Works today as he had not received one. He and Mrs. Kelly were thrilled as was his staff. I also got a look at "The Coffee Can Parker" WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GUN RESURRECTED FROM THE ASHES AS IT WERE.

Best Regards, George

[Dean Romig]

Every contributor of material for Parker Pages receives three additional complimentary copies of the issue in which his article appears. I believe the author had planned to give one of these to Jim.

Best, Dean

[Charles Matthews]

George,
I spoke to Mr. Kelly and Dianne today as well. It was a pleasure writing that article for PP. Glad you got to experience the " Coffee Can Parker" like I did.

Regards,
Charles Matthews

[George Lander]

Charles and Dean: I can tell you for sure that both Jim and Dianne were thrilled with the article. After having car trouble on the way over to Darlington my day ended happily. Jim and Dianne put me onto a good mechanic in Darlington (the son picked me and my car up in the boondocks off of I-20 and delivered me to Jim's shop) and had a new water pump installed by the time Jim closed the shop. I got to see & hold the "coffee can Parker" as well. I also picked up a Fox two barrel set that he worked over for me. All in All a Good Day.

Best Regards, George

[Brian Dudley]

Nust had the chance to read the article on this Coffee Can Parker that was being talked about. What a great and rare gun. And true dedication by Jim to get ghe get back together. It was well worth it.

What i find interesting is the article closes by saying the gun is NOT for sale. However, i had thought the gun looked familiar since i have seen it on Gunbroker for the last couple years. So, is it for sale? Maybe the $49,000 price tag is a way of saying it is not.

[Mills Morrison]

Everything is for sale at a price. That was a good article.
