The same seller has another one for sale out of his wife's uncle's estate, a 28ga/410 ga combo for 9K but no case. Apparently the case has been lost. In excellent condition.

In 1995 when they were trying to "get rid" of them, they were less than $2000 in the case with all the stuff. Wish I'd have had the foresight to buy a couple then.

In 1995 I was finishing up a field assignment for Stone & Webster at Rocky Flats in Colorado and wondering where my next assignment would be. Last thing in the world I was thinking about then was the purchase of a Parker, any Parker. Colorado was sure nice though!

Hey Allen,
Would that have been at Fort Saint Vrain?

No, after Rocky Flats, the company went through a reorganization, broke into 4 business units and they made me a Manager of Business Development for one of the units located out of Headquarters in Boston. Turned out, Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Facility was my last field assignment with S&W.

Just curious, I've worked for/through them a couple times in the Nuclear realm.

That's still a beautiful gun. If your short on heirs let me know and I'll send you my address. :)

I'm only short on hair Casey, but nice try. lol. Where did you do work for Stone & Webster? Were you part of the Company or a contractor working for/with them and what were your role(s) if I may ask. We may have some mutual friends
