Last Call for Parker Pages Material

[Dean Romig]

For those who had intended to contribute articles for the Autumn Issue of Parker Pages, Monday July 16 is the deadline.
Please contact me if you are having difficulty with anything that might prevent you from meeting that deadline and I will do anything I can to assist you.
Once again, I want to make the usual request for good, well-researched technical articles as we never have enough it seems. It would be nice to have a small library of such articles so we will accept such articles any time you feel you have a 'finished product' that we can add to our library.

Best, Dean

It's to hot to write...they call it writers block...I'll try to loosen things up with some Buffalo Trace (my new best Burbon..try it you'll like it). Maybe it's time to raid the forum

[Dean Romig]

Rich, how about putting together a tech or research article on the "Hollywood Gun" with hi-def pictures?

[Autumn Daze]

That would be awesome! And WE KNOW you can write well.....

It's 82 degrees IN THE HOUSE The wife thinks it's wonderfull, no need for the AC. I'm heading for the basement. Somewhere I have a copy of the PGCA letter for that gun. It doesn't say much just the description as a GHE with all the options sent from Parker in Illion to Montgomery Ward in Chicago. I'm not much into the tech side of things.

I have always thought that "raiding the forum" was a good filler, but that was not utilized to any extent.

sounds like a wonderful article.

George the "Hollywood Gun" is a GHE 16ga skeet gun on a #1 frame. Its a late production gun 1941 I think. The gun is a two bbl set both being 28 inches, one choked skt/skt the other M/F. Both bbls have their own BTF and vent ribs. A straight stock and SST rounds out the options. The gun went to Alex Kerrs in Hollwood and the engraveing was redone in a much finer and more elaborate style than a std GHE and the birds were done in gold and the background stippled to bring them out. With it's connection to Kerrs a dealer in Hollywood, Ca it gets it's name "The Hollywood" gun. It's a go to gun for me on the clays course.

What a gun. I apologize for being such an old Newbie and thanks for enlightening me.
Im trying to track a gun that went to Hollywood as well. #127068, a BHE

No apologies needed. These guns are an endless learning experience.
