Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
A Parker collector need not have a large investment in his collection. A very reasonable Parker is often a GH Damascus. These are very capable guns, they were important in cementing the reputation of the Parker gun, and were sold until Parker ran out of Damascus barrels in the late 1920's.
Here is a 1910 G ejector gun that gets frequent use. This one had the barrels refinished, the checkering cleaned out and deepened and the finish restored. Photos are shown of the barrel ends and the stock details for originality. The barrel chamber, bores and chokes are original, choked tight at .042.
Boxes of cartridges that I use in it are shown.
Collecting cleaning rods is low cost also. Here are an Outers, Marbles, BGICO and C M Powers.
Leg of mutton cases can also be obtained inexpensively and make a period correct accessory.
While many collectors seek the high grade and well engraved guns, a person can have a nice Parker collection and capable hunting guns with a few lower grade guns.
