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.

Mine would be my 12 gauge Ithaca grade 4 Minier, 30" IC/F Krupp steel barrels, Infallible single trigger, no safety, 7 1/2 pounds. This was the live pigeon gun of A.H. Worrest of Lancaster Pa., inventor of the Infallible Single Trigger. This is a great handling & shooting gun that was excellently cared for. I recently came across an Ithaca Flues grade 3 that is configured exactly the same except it has double triggers. It also is a great shooter.

When one reads the lists of guns used by shooters at the Grand American Handicaps at live birds, 1893 to 1902, Ithaca guns are conspicuously absent. But, Ithaca Gun Co. did briefly, in 1915, advertise their guns as being available with Alfred Harvey Worrest's Infallible Single Trigger --

Ithaca Gun Co. certainly beat all the others makers with their single barrel trap guns when it came to clay targets.
Ithaca finally made a splash in live bird circles in 1949, just as they got out of the double gun business --
