Papa's large frame 12 gauge 32" VH was called Sputnik. The only other Parkers named bare the moniker of who they came from i.e., Uncle Bill's VH 20 gauge and 16 VH, Papa's Trojan 20 gauge, Dick Broadbent's 12 gauge Trojan, Uncle Taylors 10 gauge Lifter, Uncle Bill's Barrels 12 gauge Damascus barrels on the VH 12 gauge Sherman Bell blew up, Murray's gun a cased 12 gauge VH two barrel set.

"Sputnik"... Now there's a name from our past.

1957 saw the first living creature to orbit the earth in Laika the dog who was on board Sputnik II. Nikita Kruschev was Premiere (dictator) of the then USSR.

Harry, I think we're aging ourselves.

I forgot to mention that on the rare occasion I shoot clays or birds particularly well I will call the gun "Death Ray." Another throw back to our childhood. Oh, Happy Birthday, Dean!

Perfect base model to start with.

In '69 I bought a '65 Chevelle 300 with a tiny little six and 3 on the tree for $700.

It didn't stay that way very long....
