Here we go again

My brother calls me last night and says that the owner of the multiple family home that he is renting right now in Sandwich, Mass has a Parker that he no longer uses, is thinking about getting rid of as well as a number of hammer guns (don't ask me what they are, I asked my brother and he hadn't looked at them all - just had looked at the Parker as he thought that would be the only double I'd be interest in...I have disabused him of this notion so there's more to come).

Anyway, I ask him for the serial # of the Parker, he says it's # 152770., 12 ga, VH 30 inch bbls,

I told him to take multiple pics and forward. I'll post them when received and give any other info so we can see what this really is. I'll follow up on the hammer guns and provide this as well for you Hammer gun gurus.

The owner is in his 80's and used to duck hunt locally when his legs would carry him in the marsh. Stand by. We may have some interesting 'finds'.

Allen, stop complaining and listen to what we've told you about the Serialization Book and the other PGCA research vehicles. Your number may not be in the SB, but it is in the PGCA research files, which are much more interesting than the stock book entries from which the SB entries are compiled. Spend forty bucks and get a letter.

I spend $115 today getting my oil changed at Jiffy Lube. $40 seems like a bargain.

Thanks Bill for the reminder. I've got 2 Parkers out for repairs and 1 LC Smith our for repair. When I've paid the bills on these, I'l see what's left and consider ordering a Letter or two.

Right now though, I'm more interested in seeing what 'finds' we may have to report on in Sandwich, Ma.

Is Sandwich MA where the Earl of Sandwich comes from! just joking

BRDHNTR · 03-13-2013, 08:43 PM

More likely the Earl of Potluck

Sounds to me like he has a 12g VH with 30" barrels. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

BRDHNTR · 03-14-2013, 05:39 PM

Yes, Brian based on what my brother told me last night over the phone, it's a 12 ga VH w/30" bbls. He did say there were some hammer guns in this gentleman's collection but he had no data on them as he thought they would not be of any interest to me. He's correct in that regard but there are folks on thie Forum who might be. I'm going over tomorrow to look at this man's collection. In the event this gentleman wishes to sell any of his doubles, I'll post pics and data of these in the Members Only section. It never ceases to amaze me as how this stuff comes up.

I'm sure you'll do the right thing, and purchase them first, so that you comply with the rule of posting only guns which you own.

Absolutely Edgar.
