Thanks for reminding me of Art's writing. I have enjoyed his book.

Elmer Keith had a BHE trap gun. His guns were on display at the Boise Cabela's for years and I think the family ran the collection through Julia's some years ago.

Thanks, Patrick. Keith is not in my library. Did he write any stories or particular articles that included his Parker?

ELMER KEITH--Did He Use Parkers?
Quote:
Will check it out! Harry OK, I checked out his book (SHOTGUNS) He does have a picture of His Parker B.H.E. Trap Gun, but nothing on using IT. He also has a picture of a Single Barrel Parker (does not own it) .He does mention that as a boy he borrowed a 10ga. Parker (lifter) He said it was a good long range gun. Elmer liked and used Ithaca doubles much of the time, 10-12-AND 16ga's! The 16ga. was a FAVORITE with Heavy Duck Loads. Elmer got Remington to bring out the 2 3/4in. Magnum load in 1953 in 16ga. . |

Remington introduced their 16-gauge 2 3/4 inch Magnum along with their 12- and 20-gauge 2 3/4 inch Magnums in their December 16, 1954 price list. Short Magnum introduction December 16, 1954.jpg Western, Winchester and Peters had them in their December 1954 price lists too. I had too many ammo catalogs open last night and misspoke that Remington had their Short Magnums in their January 1954 price list. Remington was December 1954 just like all the others. Sorry. |

Archibald Rutledge mentioned a Parker as the gun he used.

Nash Buckingham stated he had a 34-inch Parker in his Outdoor Life magazine article "Magnum Opus" but it was displaced by a string of Super-Fox guns. It appears to be the gun Nash was using in the 1921 Field & Stream movies Dr. Wayne Capooth, author of The Golden Age of Waterfowling, had transcribed onto a DVD. Probably the Parker in this picture --
