Old Parker

[Bruce Day]

Russ, you are too kind. There are a lot of nice Parkers out there. Charlie's 20 ga C is every bit as nice if not better and there are plenty more fantastic guns. Thanks to Bill Wheeler for recognizing the inherent value of damascus many years ago, putting it away and thanks to Jack Puglisi for putting it in my hands and making my stewardship of it possible. So so so many great people in this collecting and shooting thing we have going here.

Larry, you are too kind. Fellows, 90% of what I know about Parkers I've picked up from The Parker Story and the Parker Pages, and anybody can be up to speed if they just read and study those sources. I've had some good teachers for the other 10% and looked and listened. We have some real experts out there who are not on here very much and who many people would not even know. A good buddy of mine says its the empty drum that makes the most noise. Some of us just try to encourage Parker collecting because we like to share our passion.

Chuck, what an outstanding gun and what a privilege to be the caretaker of that one. A beauty!!

Thanks for the kind words -- she is with a new owner and I am sure doing just fine. I have to move them or my wife would shoot them all. I really like seeing all the nice Parkers posted and there are some great guns posted here and some great guys too.I second the Parker Story. There is soo much information and it was done top notch.
