I just searched the PP Digital Archives and found nothing for Otis Odom.

There was an article in DGJ a few years back by (I think) Art Wheaton about Otis's last deal on a 16 ga GH grade.

Milton asked about upgrades in configurations that are unheard of or very rare in an original Parker. Of course, A-1 Special and AAHE .410s are in that category. Shelley Gitman had a SAA single upgrade, Runge engraved. The Parker Story says only one original was made. I know of only two SAA upgrades and I am lucky enough to own Shelley's SAA.

Our Parker Pages Magazine isn't much different than DGJ ! The Parker articles are always the High Lights for me any way !

Well I can see it being understandable because its highly unlikely most Parker collectors would come into possession of one of the originals .

Personally I love seeing Parkers in the configuration the original owner ordered them as when it comes to the more uncommon ones .

Just speaking for myself , the idea of ever owning an original High Grade Parker 410 is totally out of reality for me , I would have as much trouble locating one as I would have trying to figure out how in the world I would ever pay for it ! I have owned my 410 for better than ten years and have enjoyed it immensely ! I have carried it many ,many times for Woodcock ,Grouse and as previously mentioned ,once a year for Pen Raised Pheasant ! It is an Original Parker 410 Ejector Gun with Engraving from one of the Best factory Engravers and truly is a Joy to Behold ! It is time for it to find a New Caretaker but if it doesn't , it won't Break my Heart either ! I would recommend one to any one who loves Parker Guns !
