2019 Parker additions--how about you??

[Craig Larter]

2019 is not over yet BUT???
The year began with the purchase of the Milo B Robertson BH featured in the Spring PP. Member Charlie Wheeler did a great article about the gun and it was for sale for months on GB with no takers. I went to visit the dealer that listed the gun and took it home.
A few weeks later a call from Josh L. "Craig, I have just the gun for you a CH 10ga with 34" damascus barrels". Met Josh at the Baltimore show and it is now in my collection and a picture of the gun is on the PGCA homepage. One hell of a duck slayer!!
Then a DHE 20ga 30" straight grip shows up on GB. A quick letter request (thanks Chuck) the gun was shipped to Dinuba CA in the heart of the duck hunting area (same as the widgeon guns) of California. Now in my collection.
Then a GH 12/30 in great condition from Chuck Bishop, followed by a #1 Frame 12ga CH Bernard from Steve Barnett at the Hausmann's Fall Shoot. Then my good friend Mark Kircher offers me the 1893 World’s Fair CH 12/30 exhibition gun (DGJ Autumn 2017) it is now in my collection. Then a 10 gauge D TL hammer gun 32" #4 frame with no condition that needs some work to make it a shooter from Morphy’s. A 16ga DHE 28" damascus from a PGCA member that is now my pheasant gun and then a DH 12ga 30” on GI that was so cheap I had to buy it. Whew 9 in 2019!!
Sold or gifted 7 two very nice Super Foxes, a beautiful NID Super 10 grade 3, a Parker BHE and a nice NID Grade 3 12ga.. I gifted two guns to my son, a very nice 20ga Sterlingworth 26” and a Fox CE 12/30. So I’m plus 2 for the year how about you?
