Shopping Guide For Buying A Parker

[terc]

I highly recommend that you have someone with you that is experienced. If you are new to this, you think you know a lot more than you do.
Years ago , when the Parker Collectors met in Pittsburg for there annual meeting, I thought I found the perfect 20g Trojan on a dealers table. I mentioned the gun to Ed Muderlak . He was kind enough to inspect it for me. It was a bad gun.
It really pays to ask those who know.

Dave, that couldn't possibly be the Trojan 20 that Ed sold for ten grand, could it?

Chuck, don't know where you are located or what gun show you'll be attending but my bet is you are going to be hard pressed to find any decent Parkers (or any Parkers at all) at most any of your run of the mill gun shows. And if you do, you better know what you're looking at. If you can make it to the Southern or the Annual meeting, the prospects will be infinitely better and you'll have lots of folks who can help you.
