When I was a kid, my Father shot a pair of AE-Grade Remington Model 1894s for upland game and had a 12-gauge, 30-inch full choke, Remington "The Sportsman" for dem web footed fowls. In 1959 he succumbed to the short barrel rantings of Jack O'Connor and had "The Sportsman" whacked to 26-inch with a Poly-Choke. Before the start of the 1960 season "The Sportsman" was gone and he had a 12-gauge, 30-inch, 2-frame, VH-Grade, Parker Bros. that had been shipped to Seattle Hardware Co. in July 1902.
While I shot my Father's a lot, I didn't buy a Parker Bros. myself until May 1996, an NH-Grade 3-frame 10-gauge.

What was your first parker
Mine was a SC Single Barrel Trap gun. The top gun in the photo. It was not long after that I added a second. It too was a SBT, a SB grade.

My first Parker is a DHE 12 ga 1 1/2 frame, 28" Titanic steel. It is a true family gun. My great grandfather ordered it in 1910. It was shipped to Buxton, Iowa where he served as secretary and General Counsel for a coal company. The town no longer exists except as a historical marker. It has his initials and home town Albia, Ia. engraved. I don't know if that was done in Meridan or not. It is still a great gun- one I use daily in Iowa's rooster season.

Charlie instead of hunting that last turkey you should have been home coming up with ideas for an interesting thread. This is a great thread. My first Parker is the GH 12 gauge that I recently posted in photos. I love the gun. When I take it out whether to shoot clay targets at my home or hunting I sometimes just sit and admire the workmanship on the gun.
