One owner Parker

[Stu Williams]

Mine has always been in our family. A 1929 Trojan 20 ga that was my Grandfathers, and he gave it to me when I was 12. I used it when my Grandfather taught me to hunt dove and quail. So it is still a one family Parker, and I imagine many or most are still in their respective families. I fret over what to do with it after I am gone, I have 3 daughters that don't hunt or shoot (Well one goes to the skeet range with me and pulls). I have no nephews to leave it with either (I'm sure there might be a volunteer or two on the forum).
While it is a Parker (ok a trojan) the value to me is the time I spent using it to knock down dove and quail with my grandfather and it is just a bonus that it is a Parker.

My Dad never owned a Parker, but he got me started with Parkers and watched with interest while I bought a few. His favorite gun was his Model 21 20 gauge 28" Skeet Grade. It is still in mint condition because he never carried it in the field and only shot a couple of rounds of skeet with it.

My grandfather's cousin took my dad to the Parker showroom in 1917 and bought him this 1 frame VHE 16 for his birthday. Even though my grandfather worked at Parker, he wouldn't buy him a gun. I don't think the old guy even knew how to bait a hook until he retired. There have been a cord of them since that time, but this one will stay. My dad took me out with him thanksgiving morning. We had just crossed a footbridge when I heard "BOOM...BOOM" (Hey when your 7, it really sounded BIG) He then says to me "You go get those two, I'll get these" That man still walks on water in my mind.

Stu, Hold on to it because maybe one of your Grandkids might enjoy it
