Gary: I always order a letter on my Parkers (Fox & LC Smith also) It's cheap & you never know what information might turn up.
Best Regards, George |

I ordered a research letter on a lowly Fox Sterlingworth and discovered it was ordered by a local hardware store owned by some family friends of mine way, way back. You never know what you will find.

I tried to get some pics but my camera will not focus close enough. I'm meeting with a friend with a good camera tomorrow to get some good photos. I'll post when I get them.
Yes, a research letter is in order. I am also in contact with the family that I purchased the from to see if they can shed any light on its more recent history. I actually find the more mundane guns interesting as they were most likely to be in the trenches where the action was following a pair of setters, a pack of beagles, or waiting in a frigid duck blind trying to put food on the table. |

Mills: I ordered a letter on my Dad's Sterlingworth and I showed as having been shipped to S.B. McMaster Sporting Goods in Columbia, SC (our home town). "Buck" McMaster, the owner, was one of my Dad's closest hunting & fishing buddies. Without the letter I would not have known that.
Best Regards, George |

Kevin McCormack and I have had a bag of Parkers from William Wagner, the local Parker dealer in DC. Some of them are among the early 28 gauges. We never met Uncle Billy, but it seems like we know him well.
