I've let a few nice guns slip through my hands over the years, but never a quality double, especially a Parker. I own half a dozen Parkers of various grades along with a lot of Ithacas, Bakers and some nice English guns. But my favorite is a Parker 16 gauge Trojan on a #1 frame that I got from my mother on my 12th birthday in 1958. My dad had purchased the gun for the lofty sum of $18.00 as a present for my mom in 1938. I harvested a lot of grouse along with pheasant and rabbit with that homely little gun. I've been offered more than it's worth a couple of times, but it's not going anywhere.
