All,
Sometimes when we write we do not always express ourselves as we intended. Even professional writers at times suffer from this.
Wendy, you bought a couple good Parkers. We do not know if you got a great deal or paid a little too much. Frankly, the deal is done and should not matter. Believe it or not, our more experianced members just want to help new collectors like you "from getting taken advantage of". Please do not take offense.
So... you got a good deal on what this duck hunter calls "shooters". That's great! Please enjoy your new to you Parkers and continue to participate in this forum. As Bruce suggested, join the PGCA and get involved. The PARKER PAGES provides very informative information.
PS: Even though I have a few nice Parkers, I also have a few that I don't mind taking in a scull or layout boat. Those old "shooters" really earn their keep! Please check out Kurt D's recent thread in Hunting with Parkers/Saginaw Bay. You'll see a photo of me with a less than perfect EH 10 bore. I would not want to take my prize DH 10 in a layout boat!
Respectfully,
Mark
