Hi Harold, Unfortunately, all are long gone. One of the premier Parker collectors/traders was Paul Carson who lived in Wellsburg, W. Va. More than one A1S made its way through there as well as a number of super condition high grade original 28 gauge Parkers. Paul was one of the truly great gentlemen in the hobby, and I have a lot of his personal things here, unfortunately no guns. I even have his Parker display rack and a lot of his wife's art. He used to always stay here for the Allentown Show. Talking about the '56 Delivery, I was at Paul's and had a Deluxe Grade Smith in a leg of mutton case on the roof and the case's top opened and the barrels came sailing out, and Paul made a perfect catch on their way to the concrete. Funny, how one remembers memorable moments as they get older. Take Care!
