Another try gun is coming up for sale at auction soon. Our former leader, Forrest Marshall, accumulated several try guns for his collection. When he divested, his try guns went both close to the surface, and deep in collections. It seems most are close to the surface and selling for less all the time. They are important Parker collectors' prizes, and soon we will not see them so often. I have owned my A.P. Curtis Parker try gun since about 1971 and have used it quite a bit for its intended purpose. They are quite useful for getting younger shooters used to the side by side concept without cutting down a good gun for them to use.
