I believe Harris-Flippen sold quite a few Parkers according to the records. Ivory Beads had a BHE 12 for sale a few years ago that lettered from there. There was a 32" DH that floated around Richmond gun shows for a few years that originated from HF. The building is still at 6th and Main. The Richmond Gun Shop was on the next block. I used to go in there at lunch occasionally and look around. The proprietor was about the most unfriendly old coot I've ever met. The old sporting magazines report on trap and pigeon matches in Richmond. I've always wondered where the matches were held.
