A couple of Shelly's smallbore Parkers just sold at auction. I haven't seen them since the Parker meeting and NRA show at Nashville some years ago. Shelly was not at that show, but his guns were there on Bill Jaqua's tables. I have no idea who owned them at the recent auction time but I assume that person is no longer with us. In all the time I spent with Shelly, I never saw him shoot a Parker. His shooting was with serious competition trap guns or high grade Browning Supers. His Runge-Del Grego upgrades were always boxed in Del Grego cardboard, to be looked at or displayed. The auction guns were 28 gauge in A-1 Special and AAHE persuasion. They went for money I would not pay. I'll have to be happy with my SAA.
