Richard , No permanent mental damage done ! I Hope ?????? I had two small safes full of mostly Parkers ,I love them all but ,I find myself always going for the same few guns ,I figured it was time while the market is still fairly decent to pass some of them along ,I have sold all of my Trojans , and all my V Grades ,including an almost new cond. VHE ,that was so well preserved ,I wouldn't even shoot it ,it didn't even have marks on the reciever where it shows the shell casing marks , all of my 10 Ga. guns ,a few other 20 Gauges ,I really like the 20 Ga. guns ,but some I shoot better than others, I had a nice D Grade collection from 10 Ga. to 28 Ga. ,I have kept the 28 Ga. ,one 12 and one 16 , plus a couple random guns ,I am not sure , but I have been kicking around a Repro. 28 w/ Double Triggers and a Beavertail if I can find one I really like ! SEll, but never stop buying !

I reach for the same ones also...at least for this season My favorite is the one I just bought in this case a GH16 0 frame damascuss. Now I just need/want a set of 20ga damascuss bbls to fit to it.

I have the same problem with rifles as I sighted in three for the upcoming firearms deer season.

My theory is an empty safe is a lonely safe

Charlie, I would have been crying over that 35 Chevy 3 window coupe also...

Russ, you have a nice car and keep it! If it has the 1500 motor don't let it go since they made only a few of them. Very rare. I have a 1954 MG TF #1414 / 30748 that has been in the family since 1957. Color is birch grey with red interior. My grandpa saw an ad in the paper and went and bought from a dealer in RI. This is a GI purchased car from Germany to the States. This has the Nuffield – Products CHR ODENDAHL FRANKFURT /M TEL 64336 dealer badge on the right side hood bonnet. Back in those days after the War to help with Great Britain’s economy which was in shambles they marketed to the GI's stationed in Germany these inexpensive two seater convertibles. To increase exports and to appeal to the American’s they added a little extra chrome and white wall tires which it always had since 1957. GI's could have them shipped to the States and it cost them practically nothing. I am in the process of restoring and when I am not reading the PGCA forum, I am on EBay searching for parts!!

Safety Fast!
