Hershel Chadick

[Bruce Day]

Yes, he is 72, in great health and still buying and selling guns. I called and before I knew it a half hour had passed and it was great to hear Herschel, like old times in the Parker business. His wife is still in good health, they are still on Ninth Street in Terrell TX after selling the corner bank building about 5 years ago. Tom Chapman inherited money and doesn't need to do any gunsmithing but does sometimes for Herschel.

Some of the finest Parkers passed through Herschel. I bought one gun from him and it was more than advertised and gained in value.

So yes, as David asked, Herschel is still alive and kicking, talking to him was like turning back the clock ten years, and Herschel has my order. He says he thanks God for the opportunity to wake up every morning, buy and sell a few Parkers and live in east Texas.

Herschel.

And we see Chadick and Chaddick, wonder how he spells it?

I misspelled Herschel. Mea culpa. I am unable to correct the misspelling in the title.

One of my favorites: gage - guage - gauge

Bruce: Not that it matters but it was I who asked the question about Herschel.

Best Regards, George

Hello Bruce ,I don't think most here care how you spell Mr. Chadicks name , Just wanted to say Thank You for posting ! I also was wondering if he was still in business and hoped that he was doing well ! I have never purchased a gun from him although we discussed a few over the years and he has in fact purchased a few LC Smiths from me quite a few years ago ! A very knowledgeable Gentleman and a fair buyers of Firearms ! I Wish him and his Family well ! Russ
