That’s a tough one Bill... I don’t know if I could decide.

Certainly the Grade 3 lifter that Austin gave me, the one with the P marked Laminated Steel barrels will never be sold.
Then there’s the DH I bought at KTP in about 2001 - that was my first-bought Parker and it means a lot to me.
Then there’s the 12 ga. Trojan I borrowed for three years in about 1961, 62, and 63 that I shot my only double on woodcock with... if only I could buy it from the owner - but it was purchased by his grandfather new.
Then there’s the little 16 ga. Lifter on the lightened 0-frame that used to be my good friend Edgar’s...

There are several more... please don’t make me choose Bill...

Very simple circa 1928 VHE 20 gauge . Had it about five years now but I’ve known it for about 50 years . Belinged to a friend that used to have a gun shop here in town , he was also one of my little league football coaches .
