To the best of my knowledge he never did get the lifter16. He was after one but I beat him to the deal so to speak. i offered to tade him for his 20 lifter but no deals. He said that was going to go to the PGCA upon his passing but I don't think it did.

Angel those cysts are nothing to fool with, I'm glad to hear your on the mend.

Thanks Rich. Man I learned my lesson..

Does anyone know how to contact Jim K's relatives? There is no reply to his email address. He was such a nice guy. His guns should be shared with his friends.

Bill: I sold Jim a Charles Parker 12 gauge "T-Latch" SN 666 back in 2007. . I don't know if that still works. Jim was a super guy, although I never had the chance to meet him personally. I helped him purchase an early high grade Parker from Charlton Hall Auctions (I believe in 2006) for which he was most appreciative.

Best Regards, George

I agree Murph. I don't have it. But i know he had a lifter in every ga but the 16ga. I think they were Ds. That's one collection that should go to the PGCA.

Angel, I am glad to hear you're okay. Sounds like you had a bit of a rough go. Get well my friend.

Thanks partner!! A bit rough. Those antibiotics work wonders...

C.O.B. · 08-08-2012, 08:38 PM

Angel is working the checkbook as he goes through rehab......he need pring rehab as well

I don't thin Jim had much in the way of family, seems to me someone posted that his guns went to a friend of his.

Jim Kucaba's Parkers have been dispensed with as he had requested just prior to his passing.

The PGCA is fortunate enough to be the recipient of four early Parker-made guns from Jim's collection and they will be on display at the Meriden, CT Historical Society beginning this Saturday, Aug. 11. They are two Parkers'Snows Muskets and two Triplett & Scotts breech-loading rifles, one being a carbine.
