In 1906 he was using a Winchester 1897

I didn't find any Parker ads mentioning him

Not a consignment gun per se Randy, but I have a letter for a gun ordered by W.R. Crosby and at the end it states "gun compliments of Parker Brothers". Crosby was a noted shooter of the time and he ordered an interesting 20ga. with 30" barrels, no safety, straight grip and 3 1/2lb. trigger pulls and specific dimensions.
