Tom, thanks for the memories. This P and many other fine guns I have pictured belongs to Charlie Herzog, who declines to post here. I know you know him and he will read this. I have some nice guns, far fewer than Charlie's. I also remember when Parker's were inexpensive, after all , you could buy a new Superposed for $450, so why would a person ever spend more than that on an old fashioned Parker? Yes, and gas was less than $1/gal and cars had more room and got only slightly less gas mileage than cars of today....as a kid we had a Mercedes that got 25mpg at highway speeds.....the same as the ones today, so how far have we come? I still have one from when I was a young man. Charlie still has his late 60's Grand Prix hardtop with big engine.
Tom, thanks for the reminises. While this is a Parker site, you have always had some of the finest Foxes, and I like to think we have the finest American double gun site, so please post away. I'd like to see some of Ansley's best.
Its always been a dream of mine to have more than a Parker/L C Smith Challenge. I'd like to have an American doubles challenge weekend where we have all the great names and teams shooting them against each other....oh well, what could be!
