Parker DHE 20 GA 32" 3" Chambers Straight Stock/Splinter that "Lettered". It was restored by DelGrego and remalined 100%. At the time I just couldn't handle the cyanide case colors. I have since gotten over that ailment.

One I let get away was the Ed Keller DH 119817, 30", great dimensions, tight chokes and no safety. I did a PP story about the gun and Mr. Keller a representative for Peters and a competitive shooter. He also was an accomplished duck hunter. Ed and his duck hunting buddies owned a 47ft schooner that served as their hunting accommodations which was kept on the Detroit River.

SAA Colt ser. # range 4900 Custer /Little Big Horn. Sold because I couldn’t verify. Bought several Parker’s with the proceeds. Good information in the last two years pins it to the battle and the trooper and the warrior that picked it up. Was in great original condition. Fired very little if at all.

I'd kind of like to have the gun I started my Pheasant hunting career with. My Mother's old RANGER (a J. Stevens Arms Co. Springfield No. 315 made for Sears, Roebuck & Co.) 12-gauge that was custom stocked for her by my Great Uncle Art Gustafson back in the late 1930s. He did a straight grip stock with a quality trigger guard and a Jostam No-Kick-Coming pad. By 1960 I'd bought a Winchester Model 50 and my Mother was too crippled with rheumatoid arthritis to use it, so my Father sold it.

A Parker Try-Gun with the tools and pouch. I never shot it and that is why I sold it, but now I miss having it to hold and admire.

Sometimes life’s circumstances force us into situations where there is but one way out…
In my case, at 66 with a head of white hair, I found myself suddenly “downsized” with no “parachute” and with a couple of mortgages looming over my head. I had little chance of finding the kind of employment I had been doing all my life and I reluctantly made the decision to liquidate a few things so I could pay off my biggest mortgage and that was my home mortgage. Not knowing where my next paycheck would be coming from and needing to keep my home I sold my best (at the time) Parkers - an unfired 16 gauge Grade-1 T/A hammer gun in 99% original condition and a Bernard barreled CH that was stunning in every way. With the proceeds from those and a couple of other Parkers I paid off my home mortgage. There are other Parkers that I have sold and for which I have, to this day, seller’s remorse, one being my little 16 gauge Lifter woodcock gun and another being a sweet little 28 gauge VHE that was always a delight to take to the grouse woods. There will certainly be others as the years go by. .
