Jerry Kitto
Yesterday I lost my longtime friend and later my partner in the Ivory Beads Gun shop.
Jerry and I met at a Great Western Gun Show when it was a 1200 table show in Pomona Ca. from there we would talk about primarily Parkers.
When Jerry retired we decided to try a little gun store, specialising in vintage shotguns. It worked, and we were shipping all over the globe 4-5 guns per day. We finally had to hire help to keep up with the demand.
We opened on my 60th birthday and closed right after my 70th. We made a lot of friends during that period of time, and sold literally hundred's of Parkers. I will miss my friend, and think of him every time I see another Parker or 21.
Thanks to all of our friends in the Parker world...........Jim Thynne
