Fall parker pages

[Bill Holcombe]

Is it somehow possible that I am first to receive my copy here on the rolling plains of North Texas?

Doubtful, but Dean and the writers have outdone themselves as usual!

[Steve Huffman]

Got mine in Ohio

[keavin nelson]

Waiting in Pa!!!!

[Dean Romig]

I haven't received my personal copy yet, just my carton of complimentary copies for contributors.

I'm pleased with the way this issue looks and reads.

Thanks very much to all who contributed material.

Got mine in Michigan and I am usually the last person to get the PP even though it is shipped from northern Michigan...............

[Russ Jackson]

Received mine in the 2:30 Mail ,looks like another GREAT PARKER PAGES ! Good job to all those involved ,I just can't believe my Almost ,World Famous " Woodcock Pate"Recipe isn't in the Recipe Section :rotf::rotf: !

[Austin J Hawthorne Jr.]

I'm usually 3-4 days behind everyone else, but I got mine in New Jersey today.

[Gerald McPherson]

Got mine in Georgia today.

[Charles Matthews]

Delivered to the Lowcountry today. Excellent issue as usual. Dean, the photography on your Elliot's Skeet gun article was exceptional...........great job on the story line also.

Charles

[Robert Brooks]

Thanks very much Charles. I tried to do my best on the photography of that neat little Parker but the pictures were so small it is difficult to really see the detail very well. My fault because I assigned too many pictures per page and collectively they all just took up too much space.

In a couple of weeks, after everybody has received his issue I will post those pictures here where everybody can enlarge them individually.

[Russ Jackson]

Dean I really enjoyed the article on the Skeet Gun ,I would Love to see the Floor Plate engraving ,4 Pheasants I am Guessing ? It is a Beautiful Gun ,if you managed to acquire it ,you are a Very Fortunate Man ! Thank You for the Great PP! :)

[Dean Romig]

It's not for sale Russ. The owner and I covered that possibility quite thoroughly in our first meeting.

The floor plate is the cover photo. I only wish I had realized the quality of the picture wasn't up to my standards before I returned the gun.

[Randy Davis]

Dean, enjoyed the article on the find of John Ellioitt`s skeet gun... Could he be the brother of the famous Elliott family that started Elliott`s shooting park in Kansas City? J.A.R (Jim) the great live bird shooter, Robert S. (Uncle Bob) and Dave came west to Kansas City in the late 1880`s. I know they had a brother named John who never joined the venture. I believe John had a son
Jack who did come west to help in the family business...

Best regards

[Russ Jackson]

I am sorry they wouldn't part with it Dean ,I am sure you would have enjoyed adding it to your collection ,she is a Beauty ! I should have realized the cover photo was the Gun must be an early Senior Moment ,at least I was right about the four Pheasants !

[Dean Romig]

Randy, there is no family relation between the two.
J. A. R. Elliott and John Elliot spell their names differently.





.

[Randy Davis]

Thanks Dean... wasn`t sure, thought the article had Elliot with two T`s.

[Mike Franzen]

Just saw a copy a little while ago. Great job again Dean!

[Dean Romig]

And kudos to you Mike for your perceptive and timely solicitations for your "Parker Mystique" collection of contributions. And, may I add my thanks to each of the contributors to Mike's compilation.





.

[Mills Morrison]

Job well done, Dean! As always

[Tom Pellegrini]

Great job as always Dean. Also a fabulous compilation of shorts from Mike Franzen, (The Parker Mystique), a true joy to read. Thank you Mike.

[Daniel G Rainey]

Has not gotten to the prairie of north east Mississippi yet, but we are all busy with the opening day of dove season and college football. Going to a shoot this afternoon watching football tonight. With use my 16 DHE with 28 inch barrels.

[Bill Murphy]

Great job, Dean. What is the story of the Parker pictured on page 34 with no caption, the more than strange Parker? Thanks.

[Dean Romig]

That is the prototype .410 owned by the NRA Museum in Fairfax and featured in a recent Parker Pages.






.

[Bill Murphy]

I guess it's time for a road trip to the National Firearms Museum to check on the .410 and the Invincibles.

[Dean Romig]

I thought you were a weekly visitor there Bill...?





.

[Dave Noreen]

The Remington Collector's Journal has been here a couple of days Parker Pages must be close.

[George Davis]

The Pony Express Rider must have fallen off his horse as I've not received Fall 2017 Parker Pages. It's terrible living out here in the wild west.

[Brian Dudley]

The rider must be making the large loop since i have not yet received it in Western NY.

[Craig Larter]

Brian I received mine about a week ago here in Fairport. The Parker Mystique article was most interesting. Thanks to all the contributors, well done!

[Brian Dudley]

I would like to read it, but...

[Jerry Harlow]

I still don't have mine. I'm sure the ignorant city council of the "Capital of Resistance" (Charlottesville) has had the FBI confiscate all gun related magazines and investigate the recipients for crimes against humanity. I wondered why those people in black ninja outfits were hiding behind trees outside my house when I took the dog out at night.

[Dean Romig]

Well Jerry, I received my personal copy on Tuesday and I'm in Massachusetts, the bastion of anti-gun sentiment, so there's hope for you.

[Rick Losey]

Brian

i got mine the day this thread started

but- back when I lived up there, a letter from the school once took 12 days to get half way across town - the good news is - it eventually got there

too late- but it got there :rotf:

[Ken Descovich]

Still waiting in California, I did get a notice to re up my dues though.
Ken

Received today Friday
Thanks

[Jerry Harlow]

Well Jerry, I received my personal copy on Tuesday and I'm in Massachusetts, the bastion of anti-gun sentiment, so there's hope for you.

Yes Dean, I also saw your "peaceful riot" in Boston. It is amazing how the news reported that mob blocking police in riot gear and their vehicles for what looked like an hour. So I'll hold out hope.

I'll check my mailbox today.

[CraigThompson]

As is becoming quite typical , I've not received mine yet .

[Phil Yearout]

Got it in Kansas last week.

[charlie cleveland]

got mine early last week...some fine stories in there...thanks dean

[Dean Romig]

You're welcome Charlie, and thanks to all of our contributors of fine articles too.





.

[Christian Gish]

Still waiting in southern CA.

[CraigThompson]

Got it today :eek:

I was reading the blurb about the raffle gun , should we have received the tickets already ?

[Dean Romig]

YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!





.

[Daniel G Rainey]

Noted on line that the fall issue of the Parker Pages was being received by everyone but me. Then remembered that my address was changed two months ago. How would I go about getting my new address in the system.

[Dean Romig]

Send a PM to Mary Bowes, our membership coordinator and keeper of the PGCA mailing list.





.

[Ed Blake]

Super duper issue. Thanks to the editors and contributors.

[George Davis]

Haven't got my issue so I'm assuming my Pony Express Rider was ambushed by weather, hostiles, exhaustion or his horsed died.

[Rick Riddell]

Nothing here in Maine either! Getting jealous!

[Dave Noreen]

Made it to the Washington/Idaho border Saturday the 9th.

[George Davis]

Parker Pages made to Arizona today September 12. Mail man looked exhausted with today's high of 110 degrees and their vehicles lacking air conditioning.

[Christian Gish]

Parker Pages arrived in SOCAL today.Fred

[Russell E. Cleary]

I was at sea transporting a load of gasoline, and diverting from our scheduled course (which would have been Tampa), when my copy of the Fall issue was delivered. So, it was today, being now home, that I had an opportunity to start reading it. I have learned about Dean Romig's singular experience discovering the John Elliott family 20 gauge, and just finished with the first of a number of essays on the Parker Mystique -- the piece by Mike Franzen, the originator of the new column.

Were I to put the newsletter down right now (which I won't) there is nothing I would have needed to read, view, or listen to for the rest of the evening for me to be thoroughly entertained. And, stirred as well, as the 20 gauge Elliott skeet gun article moved me to compare the engraving on my father's 1915-issue DHE 12 gauge, with the Remington-era DHE engraving depicted in the piece. Now, if I could only find out whose initials those are on the shield of Dad's DHE....

Next up for me to read are further contributions in the new column, which are sure to be engaging.

Only PGCA Members receive this publication, right?

Thank you Mike Franzen for your idea for such a column, for your riveting essay, and many thanks to the many volunteer contributors, editors and activists behind PARKER PAGES For the American Sportsman.

[Dean Romig]

Yes Russ, only PGCA Members receive Parker Pages, as well as our paying advertisers each receiving a single proof copy.

And thank you for your eloquent praise for all who contributed to make this a very fine issue.





.

[Mike Franzen]

You're welcome Edgar. I would also like to again thank all of the members who took the time to put down their thoughts and helped create the article. Now get out there and show your friends and family what you did. Who knows, they may even become infected by The Parker Mystique. :-)

[edgarspencer]

I was at sea transporting a load of gasoline .

Red over white over red?

I thought you retired. I'm jealous.

[Russell E. Cleary]

Edgar:

For us there was no requirement for red over white over red, as we were not restricted in ability to maneuver. Just pushing a loaded barge down the East Coast, so white over white.

No, not retired yet; that would put too much of a crimp on my buying stuff I want, but don't need.

[Brian Dudley]

This thread keeps reminding me that i have still not gotten my PP yet.
I will have to place a call to Mr. Hall soon for a replacement.

[John Dallas]

Brian - Me too

[Dean Romig]

My apologies to anyone who hasn't received their copy yet. It is and always has been a problem with the USPS delivery system. Can't wait for the postal system to be privatized!!!






.

[Brian Dudley]

It kinda already is.

[Dean Romig]

Naw, it's just another gummint fubar.






.

[John Dallas]

Tah Dah! Mine arrived today

[James J. Roberts]

I noticed under publications an ad for Tommy's Book's,ad needs to be removed Tommy Hypes pass away at the age of 78 on Dec.30,2016.Tommy was a good friend. J.J.

[Dean Romig]

Thanks JJ, I'll take care of that.

Dean
