Wonderful time meeting and talking with all my imaginary internet friends; Parker and otherwise. I particularly enjoyed talking vintage trap shooters and seeing some of Chris Lien's incredible collection of pictures

Great to put faces with names now; and here are a few

Parker guys



Lefever guy



Lefever/Baker/High grade American stuff & Pinfire guy



The pic of the Parker/Remington/Fox researcher extraordinaire didn't turn out

And the dork hard at work

Boy would I like to hang out at it table. Looks very interesting. I think you should go the Colby gunshow.

Drew, It was great to meet you and to meet some others who I only knew online. I thought it was a fun show

Can we hear a little about the banquet theme gun(s)? What was there and what won?

The banquet theme brought in a variety of great Parkers. No. 1 was a C grade 20 gauge hammer gun with (original) fluid steel barrels. No. 2 was Clark Gable's DHE. I can't remember no. 3 right now. My favorite was a Columbian Exposition gun with phenomenal engraving. Some people brought their first Parker. Some people brought family heirloom Parkers. It was an interesting mix.

Paul Dorsa, who is a longtime collector, PGCA life member and owner of the Clark Gable DHE. He gave a good talk

Did anyone think to record or videotape Paul's talk?
