My first Parker

[Bill Murphy]

When I asked Ralph where he lived, I was waiting for the "California" answer because this gun says Pachmayr all over, including the pad, which may have been installed at Pachmayr when the engraving and carving was done. Don't mess with the pad just yet.

I agree with Randy and Bill. Had the gun come from the other coast, my strong vote would have been Paul Jaeger's shop in Jenkintown PA.

Unfortunately like my SBT,also made in 1928, there is no order book information just stock book hopefully. It may confirm the Monte Carlo stock.

Kevin, you took the words right out of my mouth. Good shot.

Beautiful gun Ralph, and a first Parker to boot!!

Thanks Mike & Larry, now I just need to figure out its history.

Hey Ralph, welcome to the Members Club!
I didn’t see your earlier post til now. I’m on a mini vacation.
I believe if you click on the link below it will end up getting you a letter on your first Parker!

Thanks for the link Mike, I will spend some time looking through the forums and then get a letter. I ordered the Parker Story, and I am waiting on it to arrive. The research continues, but that is the fun part.

Ralph, the Parker Story is a great historical work. One of the authors, Bill Mullins, haunts these forums and is a great guy. If you can swing it, come to Sanford, NC April 23, 24, 25 and 26. You will see more Parker’s than you have ever seen before. You will make new friends that share your passion for these great guns. You will see first hand why the PGCA is the country’s premiere gun collector organization. And if you’re lucky, you just might meet award wining author John Davis.

Or better yet, award winning author Mike Franzen.
