I got some wonderful Parkers this year so I "should" be satisfied. I am going to focus on getting the handful of projects I have out back to me and then send a few more off for work.

If I had to list something I would say an 8 gauge Parker hammer gun. That would be something special to add to my collection.

Quick Edit after realizing I should make more out of my wish...I would like to get a 12 gauge lifter in A or B grade as well...

I’ll know it when I see it.

A DH 12 gauge no safety vent rib 32” trap/pigeon gun with high stock dimensions would be nice . A Remington era VHE 20 gauge straight grip checkered butt single trigger beavertail forend 26” actual skeet gun would be great . A DHE or VHE 20 gauge 1 or 0 frame 32” gun choked fairly tight would be nice . And dare I say it a VHE 28 gauge 00 frame 30” also choked tight .

Yea, right...... LOL

Wish List:
1. A mechanically sound 20 ga with a shorter than 30” barrel, mostly to entirely original parts, pistol grip and I don’t care what grade or how well loved (beat up/nicked/dented) as long as it’s prepared to go hunting for woodcock and grouse.

2. A mechanically sound 16 ga with 30” or shorter barrels, mostly to entirely original parts, pistol grip 0 frame and I don’t care what grade or how well loved as long as it’s prepared to go hunting for pheasant.

3. To be like you guys who buy, trade and sell multiple Parkers per year!

I am unable to focus on 2022 as of yet. Seems as though 2021 still has promise :corn:

A fully optioned Skeet Gun to match my 12-gauge No. 4E -- beavertail, vent rib, twin ivories, single selective trigger.

Not sure I could give up the 20-gauge I have as it is the only "round knob" NID I've ever seen.

Dave,
I can't say I've seen a round knob pistol grip on an Ithaca NID before, I understand your hesitation to part with it.

I will not be able to help you with a 20 gauge Skeet gun, most NID Skeet guns I've seen are normally in the New Ithaca Field grade configuration, a 4E would be a dandy.
I do have a Grade 2E NID that almost fits that configuration perfectly except it is a single nonselective trigger. I believe it is too early to be a Skeet model but would have to double check that.

Hmmmm , I kinda thought that but something I supposedly had first crack at magically disappeared :banghead:

Well darn the luck then. It was not me as I've been pretty calm of late when it comes to buying. Well a couple months anyway.
