Im sorry i missed that completely when you said undocumented parkers.
I was thinking of the current problem with vehicles in Hartford that couldn't be moved because of the Presidents moratorium.

Undocumented? Do you mean A-1 Specials that are "not in the book"? Or 23 1/2" barrel Parkers that are "not in the book"? Maybe we can get Chuck to write letters on these guns, just for the Annual Meeting. My gun show buddy once "wrote" a letter of provenance on the Sagamore Hill letterhead documenting an H&R single barrel to Teddy Roosevelt. It was a popular conversation piece at shows for a while.

Spring Southern SXS theme is 28ga guns! Bring 'em out for show and tell!

Now I know I shouldn't go. I'll be worse than Lindsay Lohan in a package store.

Gary Carmichael Sr 02-05-2013 09:03 PM

Come on now Edgar, It's not what happens in the package store with her it's after she leaves and the trouble begins! Dam right shame is what it is! Gary

Gary, few things lift my kilt more than a nice 28ga. Purtill brought his DHE over one Saturday morning just to wind me up. My buddy Keith was over and even he got to shimmying a bit. Last time that happened, my eyes popped out far enough to knock my glasses off staring at a certain 20ga Lifter last fall. I had to go get my prescription checked after that. When my dad passed away, I let my son have his H&H 28 ga Royal and he sold it to buy an airplane, leaving me with 3 flats of Eleys sitting in the gunroom. I ain't been right since, I tell ya.

I'm thinking an intervention is needed. Is there anybody out there with too many 28 gauge Parkers?

allen newell 02-06-2013 08:30 AM

George, are you willing to share your findings?

That would violate Eggar's patient HYPPA rights.

Rich Anderson 02-06-2013 08:44 AM

I only have 2 1/2 28's:corn:

Starting with you? Yeah there's at least one.

Daryl Corona 02-06-2013 12:46 PM

Now you have me feeling deprived as I have only 2 lowly V grade 28's which to display.:crying:

allen newell 02-06-2013 01:01 PM

Daryl, anytime those 'lowly V grade 28's' of yours need some company, you can ship them my way.

Daryl Corona 02-06-2013 01:08 PM

That's very kind of you Allen. I will certainly keep that in mind as I grow older but the V grades never look older. They seem ageless. Wish I could look and function that good at 90+ years. Hope you can make it to the Southern.

allen newell 02-06-2013 01:19 PM

Hi Daryl,
I'd love to get down there but it all depends on how Jean is doing with treatment etc. The BHE that I have on the block may make it down there, I'd love to be there with it!

Mark Ouellette 02-06-2013 01:22 PM

Allen,

If one wanted to sell a $25000 Parker BHE the Southern SxS would be an excellent venue... :whistle:

Mark

allen newell 02-06-2013 01:34 PM

I think that's where it's going to end up Mark and one of our PGCA members has offered to take it down for me in case I can't make it there. I will have to leave the Orvis stripped gun sock that is with the BHE inside the A&F leather case that entombs this nice double and probably give it to George P as a reminder of the good deal he is letting slip through his fingers. lol

But seriously, a number of PGCA Members have told me privately that the Southern is really the best place to get a better dollar for it.
