Default Boston Sportsmen’s Show of 1898:

The “Parker Story” set was delivered today. While perusing, my Damascus 1898 GH hammerless 16 gauge was listed as a display gun at the Boston Sportsman’s Show of 1898. It was among the 52 Parkers on display. The exhibit consisted of largely high grade examples, from one Whitworth AAH grade 7 on down to a twist 34” PH grade.
The factory letter indicates the shotgun was ordered for the Boston Show on March 4, 1898.
The “Parker Story” had been on my wish list forever and finally I was fortunate to obtain them at a reasonable price from a fellow member.
