Welcome Tim and congratulations on your first (and certainly not last) Parker.
Somehow I just know you'll be getting a 16 or a 20...... or even a 28 in the next year or two.... |

Grouse Chaser,
I was born in Martins Ferry, Oh and have an office in the hospital professional center there. I am an optometrist Our family farm is just outside Martins Ferry. Sounds like a great gun, although some may dislike cut barrels, I have 3 guns that I shoot the most, all with cut barrels. Great grouse guns. I have a GH O frame 16 w/ 27" barrels, a VHE 20 w 26 1/2" tubes and a Fox SW 16 also at 26 1/2. I have many patients named Long and am going to look into the history of the mayor. I will be in the UP for 2 weeks in October chasing the big and little brown birds.

Harold, pretty cool you're from Martins Ferry. I found Heyward had 2 sons, Heyward Jr and Charles to carry the name. Also 3 daughters. Any information you find on his term as Mayor I would be interested in. He may have been a Fire Chief as well. I like old stuff and history. Hence the Parker. Thanks, Tim

Tim,
Martins Ferry is hard on the banks of the Ohio River, just across the river from Wheeling, Wv. It was a "steel mill" town, until the demise of the American steel industry, and as much of rural America, currently on "hard times". Population around 5000. I looked at your album, nice gun and probably a great shooter. How is the early bird season going?
