Baseball Parkers

Seeing how opening day was this past weekend, I was wondering if anyone owns or knows of any Parkers that were owned by baseball players?
Ty Cobb.. I can’t tell from this picture but I know he owned a Fox. |
Babe Ruth's supposed GH Parker was for sale a few years back. The dealer was selling it with a restored GH just like it. Babe's supposed Parker was kind of rough from what I remember, and I think it either had his initials or name on the trigger guard. I remember a photo of him with a fur type coat on holding a Parker. Hope my memory is correct and it was not a dream. Found the old thread.

At one time Tom Gibbons said he had a Babe Ruth Parker for sale.

I remember hearing somewhere about a gun owned by Christy Mathewson...

I have a 20 bore DHE that I purchased at auction from Holt's in England. The initial plate bears the name "S.D. McGraw" who I believe was associated with either the Giants or the Yankees. It was made in 1925.

Tug McGraw's first name was Frank

John J McGraw managed the NY Giants.

Two Parkers owned by Honus Wagner have been shopped around for a few years.

The Honus Wagner guns.

The DH gun looks to have been riden hard and put up wet. |
I was at the auction where two of Honus' guns were sold. I bought five guns at that auction and never got the itch for the baseball guns. You have to get a feel for a gun, discounting the provenance sometimes. I never got a feel for the two Honus guns.
