Default PGCA Southern Side By Side Display Theme
In recognition of the Parker Gun Collectors Association (PGCA) 25th Year Anniversary in 2018, the display theme for the Southern Side By Side display at the PGCA/LCSCA tent will be "Parker Guns – The First 25 Years". So if you have a Parker Gun manufactured prior to 1895 please bring it to the Southern for display. Jim Hall has graciously volunteered to coordinate the display this year so please contact Jim by PM or via email at sjhall@haloisp.net.

Serial No. 79560 was the last gun to be produced by Parker Bros. in 1893, their 25th year of producing shotguns.

So that would include all those Columbian Exposition guns?
And those wicked cool trade cards?

Don't forget the daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters. It would be something to see one beat the boys. They are very important to the survival and future of shooting, guns, and collecting as you know. I have no daughters but lucky to have four granddaughters that I let shoot every chance I can. But they like girl things too much.

Absolutely, Jerry. My niece and my brother almost got a turkey together the other week. Women are a fast growing part of the shooting sports and that is good news
