L.C. Smith Display at Southern SXS
Every year, the L.C. Smith folks put up a display of some of their fine guns. The light was not the greatest, but here are some photos.
It was suggested that Parker do a similar display next year and I think we should. http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...psaj0pf5au.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2tyf6jx5.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7khfk8at.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...pszgfw6isk.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...pssgih9nlx.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4vprdkup.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...psze1ktcpw.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...psi4ejixxm.jpg http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4rbstbbg.jpg |
What?.... We didn't have guns on display this year?
|
Not an organized display like they did
|
Has anyone ever had Rst print up any boxes with the Parker logo I would buy a case or so if it was done . When I say logo I mean like the sticker we get with the membership renewal .
|
Not that I'm aware of. We applied some PGCA stickers to some boxes of RST ammo we gave as door prizes at the Annual Meeting a couple of years ago but I don't know if anyone had contacted Morris about actually printing up Parker Shotgun boxes.
|
Did they have any of the 8 gauge Smith's on display the fellow from up this way owns ?
|
Seems to be an 8 in the 5th picture but it doesn't appear to be either of those on the LCS Collectors Assoc 2015 calendar .
|
I do not recall an 8g smith.
I agree that Parker could have had more guns on display on our side. I did my part. As well as a couple others, but it could have been much better. It didn't help that Gary was tied up setting up his fantastic display at Ruth's. |
Brian did his part and we will make sure Brian has room for his display next year. I am thinking we could get two racks for a display and do a theme like waterfowl guns, upland guns, highlight a grade or era.
|
Yeah, I missed the 8 gauge the first pass through but it was there.
|
Julia also suggested some blaze orange Parker hats, for those bird hunters among us.

"It didn't help..."???:shock: Strange statement... Is Gary somehow obligated to display his guns in the tent? |
I don't think that is what Brian meant.
|
What I meant was that Gary always has some nice guns to display. And he could not spend much time at the tent due to setting up an even more impressive display for the dinner.
But I thought that is what I said to start with. |
Thanks Brian - I agree, Gary has some fantastic Parkers. I only wish I could have been there to see the guns at the Foundation event.
|
I think the lc Smith display was wonderful. Full disclosure I had a gun on display. They picked a theme and asked for member participation.
|
One thing LC Smith does really well is their displays. They had a waterfowl gun exhibit at one of the northern shows I wish I could have seen in person.
|
Gentlemen, Parkers will be on display at next years shoot at deep river, the good lord willing, I will see to that, what about a display of different gauges? or just high grade guns? sorry I did not want to bring those guns that were at the HOF banquet, out in the moisture in the tent, I had 20 guns on display at the dinner, thanks to Brian for a nice display at the shoot, Brian I will have a presence next year! Gary
|
Thanks Gary! How about you and I coordinate closer to the time? I am thinking less high grade/high value guns and more of an informative display. Early hammer guns . . . . Evolution of Grade 2 Parkers . . . . something like that.
|
Mills sounds like a plan to me! Gary

Somebody please tell us more :corn: |
Please do!, Parker only made 15 lifter 20 gauge hammer guns, in all grades and only around 6-7 have come to light, so far. I had two twenty gauge lifters at the HOF banquet, A grade 3, and an A grade, and I sure did not sell either, Gary
|
16 ga lifter grade 3 barrels not in good condition.
did not sell it is my understanding it is not for sale. |

I was told the guy that had the 16 also had a 20 gauge lifter and that the 20 gauge was sold but then the owner got a bit price happy with the 16 .
