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.

Fine looking dog! And a very interesting 20 gauge. I would love to see some better pics of the gun! I love Parker 20s.

Here are some pictures with the letter.
In my research, I conclude that Mr. Carr was a young boy when he received this gun.
It was returned in 1902 to "Fit new butt" for a charge of .50 cents?
In looking at the numbers in the stock you can see where the number has been overstamped. The "old" number goes back to a 16 gauge gun made in 1897 that research shows as a D grade.
My theory is that this was a "Take off stock" that was offered to Mr. Carr for a discounted price.
The gun now has a 14" LOP with a 2 1/2"drop.
It weighs 6lb 3 oz.
Research has Mr. Carr as a Commissioner to a Supreme court Judge.
My guess is that not many people refused permission to Mr. Carr if he wanted to hunt their property! LOL!
This gun Hammers birds!
