James,

No unfortunately I do not have the holster. The friend that I got the Gamegetter from had an absolutely mint 1908 with the original holster, the remains of the two boxes of ammunition ordered with the gun and the sales receipt from Montgomery Ward. I only bought this one as I just didn't have the funds, a whopping $750.00, for the better one at that time. As I recall he charged me $150.00 for this one and I believe the transfer fee was $5.00 at that time.

The same friend had a registered Ithaca Auto-Burgler 20 gauge double that I could have bought for $500.00 but again I just didn't have the money.

I did buy a 1849 Pocket Model Colt from him but let someone talk me out of it a couple of years later. I replaced that Colt this past year at about six times the amount I sold the other one for.


I'm headed to the gun show in Baltimore next month and hope to find a nice Civil War musket to bring home and who knows what else might tempt me perhaps another Parker.

Dennis,I'll be going to the Baltimore gun show do you have a table there and do any other members have tables? and row numbers would help. J.J.

Kevin McCormack and Bill Murphy will be in the historical location, B-4 and B-5. Maryland Antique Arms Collectors will be installing a bronze plaque commemorating our long time attendance at this location.

No, no table, this will be a quick trip, about a week, I don't intend to go to sell just want a nice musket.

I suspect we, my son, brother-in-law and myself will probably only go on Saturday. I'm not sure I can afford to even spend the whole day Saturday what with the temptations that will be offered. My plan is to take cash and leave the credit cards at the house, less tempting that way. I'll also leave the wife with my sister and daughter-in-law as she would say "if you want it buy it" and I'm certain that would make it a much more expensive trip.

Will the Parker Collectors Association or any members have a booth? If so I'll try to stop by and say hello.

We'll be staying with our son in Crownsville.

Credit cards don’t buy much in Baltimore. There is no PGCA table but lots of members have tables scattered all around the room. Off hand I can think of 8, but I’m probably leaving someone out. I missed last year, having a new hip later that spring, but I remember Allan Swanson saying he wasn’t going as Art Wheaton was no longer coming. There was always a gathering at his table as there was at the M&M table (Murphy/McCormick) chuck usually stores stuff under my table and Daryl hangs out there too.
