Cased Parkers

Over the course of the next month or so, I will post photos under this title of some cased Parkers. Some are mine, others belong to a buddy. I like straight grips, he likes pistol grips. This is only to promote interest in vintage Parkers.

To start things off, here is a 12ga 28", case hardware engraving done by Dick Washburn, a long time PGCA member from Duluth.

Thanks for the pics Bruce. I had heard about the engraved hardware but it's nice to get to actually see it. Very nice.

Dick did a beautiful job on the engraving. It looks very Parkeresk.

Bruce, That has to be #241601; if so, you have done right by it.

Fabulous Bruce! I'm a proud son of Lawrence, Kansas... I came home from the Hospital in diapers about 2 blocks from Huey's place. I wish that qualified me for a discount on his exemplary work. Thanks for sharing.

Bruce,

A very beautiful Parker and case. "Saigon 1967" made me drift away for a moment. I spent most of 1968 in I Corps on and around the DMZ, but from October to November I was runniing the delta from Vung Tau to Saigon. Kind of tough to think about at times.

Weird times... Kids fighting a man's war... Dark times.
