Francis, Mr. Wagner's first name was mentioned in my first post. Dave, yes, William Wagner was not only a very high volume Parker dealer, he was the original promoter of 28 gauge guns in the earliest years of their production. If you will refer to your great Parker Pages article about the earliest 28 gauges, you will find that Wagner ordered some of the first. My little quail gun is the seventh 28 gauge ordered, and it came from William Wagner's store. Mr. McCormack and I have a definitive body of research about Wagner's early orders, but we have been denied access by the PGCA BOD to a couple of order book copies which would allow us to complete our research. By the way, the PP article on early 28 gauges was completed without any assistance from the BOD although we could have used it. Oh well.
