Many interesting posts which are very thought provoking. What makes this hobby so interesting is the wide range of opinions all brought together with a desire to own and in many cases shoot and hunt with Parker guns. Most start with a laser focus on a specific gun and then broaden there focus as they immerse themselves in the world of Parkers or vintage guns. Our individual economic situation governs our definition of a great collection, but my guess is we all enjoy and are proud of our collection, no matter how modest or grand. Thanks all for the great posts. Craig

Rich, since you're making plans for the future, The Lovely Linda would like to put her reservation in to get Gunner's Gun back. I didn't realize she was so fond of it. She actually bought two Parkers the day she bought Gunner's Gun, still has the other one, a benchmark 12 gauge VH. Both guns came out of the same Poolesville, Maryland household. Linda says "Hi".

Bill please pass along a big hello to the lovely Linda. Hopefully it will be quite a while before Gunner's Gun goes anywhere.

Rich, from another perspective, Gunner’s gun should be going somewhere in the poppies along a two track in grouse country near Channing fairly soon I hope. Cheers Jack

Gunner and his gun always go to Channing to tip toe through the Aspens. This year he'll be joined by two youngsters Ike and Duke.
