Default Birthday Present

I just gave my Daughter her 21st Birthday present. I purchased it at the Las Vegas show in 2005. It is a 20ga GH, straight stock, Dam 4 30" tubes, leather covered pad and weighs 6lb 5oz. Modern Dims made in 1917. It's her first Parker and was very pleased. I was a good day for me too.

Wow! What a desirable Parker.

Pictures would be great!.... You're a good Dad.

Nice gift. That is a Parker that I have been searching for to add to my modest collection.

I have introduced a few people to shooting SXS and usually pick a 20. It just works.

Best,
Patrick

You've asked for pix, GH or Daughter? (Ha-Ha) It's the lower GH of the pair. She also received the fitted antique case. I'm still looking for a husband for her.

Very nice gun indeed!

So where's the picture of your eligible daughter shooting her gift Parker?

One of her skinning a deer, skeet shooting a RBL 28 (had to be left handed) and driving a rental Mustang.
