love those old ad s...wish the magazines today had a little of the old mag sstyle..thanks for the pictures...charlie

The Remington ad definitely shows a Parker and it looks like a G grade.

you are most welcome Charlie - glad you liked them. I would appreciate hearing from anyone else who knows what other period magazines featured Parkers on the covers.

What about the other two Edgar? Those are the ones I am not sure about.

The one in the foreground of the National Sportsman has the hinge pin and receiver profile of a Parker, perhaps loosely interpreted by the artist, but the one on Outers Recreation isn't a Parker. It looks like it might be a Lefever Nitro Special, or possibly an Ithica. I pay so little attention to all the 'others' I am an unreliable person for this sort of stuff.
There's a gun shop in Maine, on my route to our place up there. I always stop by, and with the unique hinge pin on a Parker, I can scan his huge rack of SxSs in about 15 seconds, and be back in the car before my wife gets antsy.

Edgar, please PM me with the name of the shop and the town.....


HEY, I'm not asking you for the coordinates of your favorite woodcock cover...:whistle:

More Parker Covers
 

Here's a couple more covers. The Outdoor Life has (I think) a Parker on both the front and back cover

Magazine covers
 

This from the 1987 Gun Digest, I believe the 20 gauge A-1 special belongs to Mr Herzog, and the lower gun is a 28 gauge reproduction by Mr Skeuse

Print
