Over the last 30 years, there have been four books written about Parkers and what to look for in a collectible and shootable gun.
The PGCA has been in existance for 15 years and we have a great publication, The Parker Pages. We have this web site showing photos of good Parkers and we have helpful forum members who freely give advice.
PGCA members display good guns at most major gun shows.
The PGCA has had major displays at each of the last five Pheasants Forever Pheasant Fest gatherings, attended by 20,000 to 30,000 each time.
There have been dozens of articles about Parkers and what to look for in The Double Gun Journal, Shooting Sportsman, NRA Hunter, Pheasants Forever magazine, Quail Unlimited magazine, and probably others.

Any other ideas about what else we can do to get the word out?

I will stand by my advice to "be careful". I will give a further piece of advice, and that is to buy only guns that can be restored. Wendy's guns have been in the hands of persons who have destroyed them in attempts to "restore" or "repair". Bruce has attempted to give Wendy some places she can go to get information on what guns to buy. He has been diplomatic in not telling her to avoid guns like she has already bought. I will tell her to avoid such guns. Well worn or rusty guns that have not been in the hands of a bad gunsmith are a much better deal.
