Wellsburg, Wv? Damn, that's just 20 min from home. My wife's father was from Wellsburg. Think any of those Parkers and Foxes are still around there?

Hi Harold, Unfortunately, all are long gone. One of the premier Parker collectors/traders was Paul Carson who lived in Wellsburg, W. Va. More than one A1S made its way through there as well as a number of super condition high grade original 28 gauge Parkers. Paul was one of the truly great gentlemen in the hobby, and I have a lot of his personal things here, unfortunately no guns. I even have his Parker display rack and a lot of his wife's art. He used to always stay here for the Allentown Show. Talking about the '56 Delivery, I was at Paul's and had a Deluxe Grade Smith in a leg of mutton case on the roof and the case's top opened and the barrels came sailing out, and Paul made a perfect catch on their way to the concrete. Funny, how one remembers memorable moments as they get older. Take Care!
