In 1993 they had the great mid-western flood along the Mississippi River and I was in a gun shop in St Charles, Missouri when a gentleman walked with a large box of gun which had been in his flooded basement. Their were several Parker and I selected a 20 gauge PHE with 28 inch steel barrel. Took it to Paul Fucks in Alton, IL for a total restoration.
Then a 1894 Quality O, 12 gauge with 30 inch plain twisted steel barrels was acquired and sent to Paul Fucks again for a full restoration.
Followed by mint condition 12 gauge 1918 SC SBT with 32 inch barrels.
Since the first three all have been GH or GHE on various frames sizes and gauges.
Been collecting Parkers since I was 42 years old, however all are shot on a regular bases or they are sold!!!
