No Parkers, but an amazing picture taken at the Madison Square Garden during the 1901 Sportsmen's Exposition. Note the sign that says "Annie Oakley" and the time of her appearance R.O. Heikes (Remington Hammerless), Ed Banks (Winchester Repeater), W.R. Crosby (Smith), Jack Fanning (Smith), possibly B. LeRoy (Remington) They, and Fred, were all together that summer for the 1901 Anglo-American competition, and Heikes and LeRoy switched to Parkers.

Not if they used one of these! Introduced by J.A.R. Elliott in 1904
Not sure how the "Restores Impaired Hearing" part works
