Prewar American made custom rifles, Parkers, eight to .410, gun paper, especially Parker, Prussian Daly shotguns, single traps, American and otherwise, Nash Buckingham and Henry Bartholomew information, Super Foxes, eight gauge shotguns, graded high condition Model 12 and 42 Winchesters, guns with serious provenance. My decades long search for the perfect Purdey pigeon gun ended this year when I found a high condition late bar in iron Whitworth barrelled hammer gun with all pigeon features. Now I can relax and continue my search for the perfect Parker. It is in range, but still not in the safe. I have started to retire my collection of old shells, because they are too heavy to keep. The next to go may be the eights and tens, for the same reason. Elmer Keith claims that he sold all of his Sharps buffalo rifles because they were too hard to move around. Now I realize what he was talking about. I guess I forgot the prewar Browning Superposed guns and the early trap and pigeon shooting memorabilia. I also collect early NSSA skeet memorabilia and early shotgun shooting trophies.

Eric's out of town but I have handled it and shot it. He brought it Quail hunting this year. It's a high condition VHE straight grip gun. A std configured 100% original skeet gun with 26 inch barrels.

As long as Eric is out of town, can I come over and shoot his .410?

Well I did loan it out to a Gentleman when we were quail hunting one day, and the last day Mike also borrowed it to shoot. Should have been there Bill I would have been more then happy to let you drop a few quail with it.

Bill you saw and handled the gun when I displayed the Skeet gun collection at the Parker annual meeting in Washington DC, (years ago I guess ) Man doesn't seem that long ago........! But anyway you know the gun, all the skeet options, about 85 to 90% condition, very nice gun and no that's not one of the guns that may be going up for sale
