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..
John D.

Shooting was a much more accepted sport in all its forms 90-120 years ago and I just think that with all the competition to sell trap guns that Parker would have not let Smith be the only one with something nice to put on the mantle,something the distaff side would approve of .I collect loving cups and have found a lot of them gathering dust in attics and think that if guns were just tools and a means to an end that there would be no reason to attach much importance to a trophy after the recipient had passed or lost interest.Have found tennis,golf,car racing,horse racing and even cock fighting trophies scrounging around.Some really nice and some made by an outfit in Meriden.

Robert,Those made in Meriden could have been Britannia or International Silver among others. Meriden was known as "The Silver City" because of its many manufactories for the silver industry.
