Alex Kerr....

[Destry L. Hoffard]

There always seems to be a lot of interest in anything about Alex Kerr "Parker Dealer to the Stars". I spotted this on eBay and robbed the pictures off the sale. Never seen anything like this before from, pretty cool.

Neat, I used my Kerr's Sporting Goods leather shell pouch this weekend. For me, it's a pigeon pouch because it is hard pressed to hold 25 shells, even if you use both sides. A pigeon pouch only has to hold 10 or 12 shells. I have a couple of Alex Kerr's skeet trophies in my collection also.

Destry is this a current listing on eBay as I didn't see it? Might make a good candidate for one of the new patches.

I bought an old 20 gauge and it was delivered in this case.

A real bargain for somebody who's a 44 chest.

I've been sorta working on another shooting sweater but I don't want to have to go through getting them from the UK again. There's nobody here in the USA I can find that can make something like we had before, the closest is Dehen Mills and they'll be like $450. I'm looking in Canada for a manufacturer, no luck yet but I'm looking.

Dave has that recoil pad on his Browning because he was hanging around Kerr's in 1950 when it was on the rack.

Didn’t he have a role in All About Eve?

I was as far south in California as Palo Alto/Menlo Park in 1950, about a month after that Superposed was delivered to Stanley Andrews Sporting Goods in San Diego in May. I first made it to Kerr's in the spring of 1969.

Kerr's was an amazing store. Jerry Knight ran the gun department when I was a kid. I think Kerr bagged him from Hollywood Gun Shop. He was a great guy and would show us kids anything on the gun rack and he had everything on that rack. Kerrs had a basement gunsmith shop that could fix any gun in the world.
Knight and his wife shot ducks at a friend's club in Antelope Valley. They were both great shots and his wife was knock dead beautiful. It was hard to keep our eyes on the ducks.

The first gun I ever owned was a Parker Trojan 20 my aunt gave me one year. I still have it and still shoot doves and ducks with it 64 years later. All my aunt wanted of me was a few teal once in a while.
Now I have 16 Parkers. It's remarkable what you collect over the years. I shot a B grade 12 at ZZs yesterday and got 24 of them. I'm still gloating over that. I'm sure I'll be humbled this morning trying to repeat that.
