I have his SAA single trap. I'm not real interested in selling, but I'm 78 years old, so who knows.

Pls let me know if you change your mind. Shelly was a client and I loved talking with him about Parkers

You are a spring chicken Bill. I'm 80 and feeling top drawer. Stopped shooting a few years ago, but I'm getting back into it. Not dead yet and loving life! I also own a SBT. I haven't shot it for sometime because I've been ill, but I'm all healed up and rar'n to go!

I'm 81 and own an early SC. Selling? Not yet. Nice shotgun.

Garry, when Bill sells off his collection there will be such a glut of Parkers on the market that it will devalue every Parker we own!

Of that, Mountain Mike, I have no doubt. But if we could only look at the photos...

Mike, I'm proud to say that my 64 year Parker accumulation is a shooting collection with quite a spattering of lesser condition specimens. John, Shelly was a great friend and I guess I won't be selling the SAA single any time soon unless I can afford one of his .410s.

I Bill and Linda have any grand or great-grand kids, I'm sure they could post photos for him.
