Kevin is right. Gun List is a modern day item. There was plenty of gun collecting before Gun List. My collection of American Rifleman from the late twenties to WW2 shows rare collector Parkers in the classifieds that have not shown up on the radar again in the 63 years I have been collecting. Before Peter Johnson's book in 1960, there was virtually nothing in print to help a Parker collector. Before 1960, collectors worked off the seats of their pants, using their checkbooks to further their knowledge.
