Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I shot model 11s for decades. Sold them when I was in the hospital circling the drain thinking my shooting days were over. But I survived. (aortic dissection) I sure miss my little Model 11 20. Bought two Auto 5s a 12 and a 16. The 16 is an early gun with Mark IV engraving and it is a beauty to behold. Has the original black leather case with two barrels, a full and a cylinder. Suicide safety. That gun competes with beautiful Parkers for sheer shotgun glory. It carries a 75.000 ser# so it's an early gun.

Now that is a gun that I would like to see some quality pictures!

I'll take some pics of my Browning Auto5 with the Mark IV engraving and see if I can figure out how to post them here. I paid $4.4K for it, which is much more than I have ever paid for any gun, but it just screamed for me to buy it when I saw it at a gun show in Oregon. It is indeed a work of art! (later entry) I discovered that my Auto five sixteen is a very early gun. The Browning serial number site reported that any pre 1920's age is just a guess. So my gun is probably in the teens or earlier. A very pretty gun tho.
