Recommendations from senior collectors to a novice wanted.

Easy to buy, hard to sell. Buy the best original condition Parker you can afford. Find a experienced collector to hold your hand. Go slow, become a student before you part with cash.

I would mostly be using it on the skeet and sporting clay fields and occasionally getting after quail, dove pheasant or grouse when the hunting opportunity presents itself, thanks!

Hello James , I see you are a Marine, ''Thanks For Serving'' this great Country.
ALL PARKER'S are the same on the inside, the higher grades have more lipstick in various shades. In other words a Trojan will do any thing a AAHE will do. Save your money for now, all those high priced Parkers will be dropping in the near future. More than 80% of the Parker Guys are Old Guys and their high priced Parkers with be Low Priced Parkers shortly.

Coming from the guy who wont even spend a dime with a food vendor at a shoot. Too expensive.
