The Super Fox HE was introduced
1923, the same year as the Smith Long Range. One Smith Long Range was produced in
1921 and an Eagle grade Long Range in 1922.
Came across this (poor) image from the
1894-1895 Montgomery Ward & Co. catalog listing The Parker Long Range
The Parker Bros.
1929 Catalog again mentioned the Parker Long Range
"Magnum, Super, and variously named guns about which so much is now being written are not a new development in the gun makers' art. For the past twenty years Parker Brothers have made guns to handle heavy charges of powder and shot, giving good patterns at long range. Recent improvements in powder and by shell manufacturers have served to make the Parker Long Range gun even more effective, so that today the Parker built and bored to secure the full power of modern loads with which one may confidently expect to bring down game at distances a few years ago considered impossible, is up to date but not new. Parker Long Range guns are built to guard the user against abnormal recoil. The weight of the barrels is so distributed that the gun handles the heaviest loads with comfort. The purchaser of a Parker Long Range can rest assured that he will receive a gun, easy to handle, sufficiently heavy and properly bored to shoot the heaviest loads for the killing of wild fowl at extreme ranges."
Was there any mention of a Parker Long Range in advertisements or catalogs between 1894 and 1929??
BTW the Jeffery "Long Range" was listed in the 1904-1914 catalogs
"The Original Long Range Shotgun"
