It really doesn't matter that some shooting sports are on a downturn, the history is still there. Glass ball shooting is not very active today, but the glass ball guns are still bringing the big buck and the history of the shooters is more interesting than it ever was. Who ever thought that NSSA skeet guns would be as interesting as the Dr. Lyman Invincible or the Cliff Green BHEs? My goal in collecting is to not let the ownership and provenance of the guns be separated from the guns themselves. Many of my Parkers are not acquired for condition, but for available provenance. I realize that the secondary sale of these guns may not be as easy as similar high condition guns without provenance, but they are more interesting to me while I own and shoot them.

It is nice to carry the history of the gun from one caretaker to another. It gives much more meaning to the gun than just when it was made and where it was originally shipped to.
What was going through Cliff Greens head as he stood on station 4 with the 410 shooting the third round and he was clean so far?
