Thanks for the information John.
My Uncle told me that he purchased the gun after shooting at the Grand over forty years ago (he's 97). To him the Parker was a trophy from a very successful shoot. While he was very engaged at the trap club up until a year ago he favored his Baker and occasionally one of his Perazzis. After our last trip to the club and just before he went to a nursing home he gave me his pride & joy, told me that it would make me a better shooter, and commented that his kids could fight over the other guns... And as Paul Harvey used to say, "and now you know the rest of the story". |
What is your uncle's name and what state did he shoot in? Give me that information and I'll look up his shooting records for you. Recent asking prices on gunsinternational are a bit higher than the prices mentioned here, but they are inflated and unlikely to sell at those prices. That is a great looking SC and has some questionable markings on the water table, "AA". The AA is probably a spurious marking to deceive a buyer.

Bill,
Before retiring to Gainesville, FL my uncle - Bob (Robert P) Huey lived outside of Rochester, NY. In addition to shooting at a club near his home, as I recall he also shot at regional competitions in Bradford, PA as well as "Grands" in Ohio and Florida. |
Outrageous wood! And a rich story! Beautiful.

Shawn, great provenance and history connected with this gun. A gun you should never part with. If I were you, I'd use it for its intended purpose. And yes, your uncle was correct, it will make you a better shooter. At least mine did.
