AHE and BHE are done and ready for action.

There are a lot of folks that think most high grade and otherwise good Parkers are mostly in New England, but this certainly proves that the well healed people of the northwest enjoyed some of these great guns as well. I think we are just beginning to see some of the great guns that are going to come out of the Seattle-Portland area.

What I like about these two guns is they leave me room to avoid jealousy. Now, if the 'B' were a 28ga and the 'A' a 20ga...then I'd have absolutely no way to avoid it.

Thank you Bill, that is a great piece of information on the gun!

Putnam does not appear as a competition shooter in the 1913 and 1914 average books of the Interstate Association as a resident of Canada or Texas. 1913 is the earliest reference I have for the Interstate Association, the predecessor to the ATA. His Texas connection is still a mystery.
