O. R. Dickey, of Boston. Mass., winner used a very handsome Parker Bros, hammerless gun, of the pigeon model, and his load consisted of 50 grains, or about 3 1/2 drams by measure, of American "E. C." powder, 1 trap wad, one 3/8 inch pink felt, one 1/4-inch pink edge, and 1 1/8 ounce of No. 7 chilled shot in the United States Cartridge Co.'s "Rapid" shells, 2 3/4 inches in length.

Great Parker History! Makes me wish I had a spare Nine G's for the gun! Also, if you take note, his name appears on the PGCA homepage linking him to the history of the Czar of Russia's gun.

Czar Nicholas II the Czar of Russia’s gun became one of the most fabled and mysterious of all. Parker records, later enhanced by legend, speculation and fact, fueled a ninety year treasure hunt. The search for this gun initially based on a news story in the Meriden Journal on March 7, 1914, later substantiated by Parker records listing an order in 1914 by O.R. Dickey. The hunt ended when it surfaced at Julia Auctions in March 2007. An intriguing story set down first in “The Parker Story” the bible for Parker folks, and “remainder of the story” published in 2007, Volume 14, Issue 7 of “The Parker Pages”, Journal of the Parker Gun Collector’s Association.
