Bob,
Congrats on your new gun. She's a beautiful old Parker. Keep her original.
Just my two cents. Enjoy it. It would be interesting to hear of its history
or what you know about the gun. Did you send for a letter ?

Kind regards,

Jeff

Congratulations, Bob. You need to tell this story. I wonder if the original poster sold it to a PM guy. If he had PMed me, I may be telling your story.

The original poster has shared some very interesting history of the gun. It was used by three (3) generations of a Texas family mainly as a waterfowler. It was acquired from the original owner's grandson. I have all family details.
