My first Parker

[Bill Murphy]

Don't expect much information in a PGCA letter. The gun was made after the era of "order books". However, I order a letter on all my Parkers, just in case.

She is a beauty, much like the girl I dated out of high school with non-original hair color.
I wouldn't kick that gun out of the safe for eating crackers.

From the gunbroker listing when this gun was sold a week or so ago.

Todd, you have a beautiful Parker. I saw this same gun on gun broker last week. While it does have a few things that are not original, don't let that keep you from enjoying it. It's a great looking classic Parker that you should be proud to own. If it fits you, and you shoot it well then enjoy it for what it is.

The "1" frame is the size of the frame. This is a smaller frame for a 12ga gun. Most 12ga guns are built on a heavier #2 frame. This will make your Parker a bit more lively in your hands. Should make a great skeet or upland bird gun.

[J. Scott Hanes]

Thanks for the info, Todd. Take that one out and shoot it. Great chokes for upland game if you are so inclined. You will find other "safe queens" to keep in that 14x14. Parkers were made to be used.
