When I was a kid, my Father shot a pair of AE-Grade Remington Model 1894s for upland game and had a 12-gauge, 30-inch full choke, Remington "The Sportsman" for dem web footed fowls. In 1959 he succumbed to the short barrel rantings of Jack O'Connor and had "The Sportsman" whacked to 26-inch with a Poly-Choke. Before the start of the 1960 season "The Sportsman" was gone and he had a 12-gauge, 30-inch, 2-frame, VH-Grade, Parker Bros. that had been shipped to Seattle Hardware Co. in July 1902.

While I shot my Father's a lot, I didn't buy a Parker Bros. myself until May 1996, an NH-Grade 3-frame 10-gauge.
