My first Parker was a 28 gauge. I still own it, have for 66 years now. I have also owned a couple of .410s. They are the cutest little things. My .410 skeet will probably be the last Parker I will ever sell. Ron Kirby called me one night to tell me that a person who lived near my office had a Parker that he needed information on. Ron gave me his phone number and the Parker turned out to be an original finish .410 skeet. I gave the person an honest appraisal, several pages of them. He had gotten appraisals from Abercrombie and Fitch and several other honest dealers. I was close and also honest, so we reached an agreement. I could have walked from my office to this gentleman's home in 45 minutes. It helps to have religion. My first 28 gauge was purchased from a person who lived even closer.
