Over the years, I have given away many Parkers to people that deserved them but didn't necessarily have the funds to buy them. In addition, over the last two years, I have given away a PH steel barrel gun in nice original condition, a high condition 16 bore Trojan that was a favorite of mine for wild pheasants, and a benchmark true Parker DHE trap gun with all options.
I have given away four DHE's but the trap gun was the best. It is a true 98% original gun with the only wear on the trigger guard. I gave it to the son of my great friend (deceased) who owns the estate farm I hunt on in Pawling, NY. He shoots trap with me, when he can get away, and I thought he needed a real trap gun. He is very careful not to put his hands on the case colors and vows to keep the gun pristine.
The only thing I asked in return was to remember where they got the gun and not to sell it but to pass it on someday to someone who would appreciate it.
I don't want any of my remaining guns sold but have placed them in my will for people that would appreciate them and pass on the legacy.
