what was your first parker

[Mills]

I guess I am lucky to own the first Parker I owned, but the first Parker I remember was owned by a black gentleman who occasionally did some carpentry work for my Dad. I remember it had Damascus barrels, but was shot regularly. I distinctly remember Plez shooting it at a dove hunt on our old farm. He never would sell it, despite several offers. I would love to track that gun down and buy if the seller was willing. Plez passed on years ago.

My first Parker was a T-Latch, when I was about 12. It had more rattles than my Ford. My first shooter was a VH-20, 28". That was stolen when I was first married in '72. The first one I ever shot was my Dad's first; a VH16. Still hunt with that one.
