Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I took some pictures of the gun two days ago and they didn't turn out very well. I have posted pictures before here, but that has been a while. I'll try again.

When we went back to Minnesota to grandpa's farm when I was an infant in the fall of 1946, he took the KED-Grade along and gave it to his youngest brother who had recently returned from adventures with General Patton. U.S. 12 ran near grandpa's farm and was a direct route to eight a day wild pheasants around Webster, South Dakota. The old family picture of the bird processing operation in grandpa's yard was annotated 72 pheasants and 72 ducks. About the time I was in junior high Dad added a 16-gauge AE-Grade to his arsenal, but that gun, serial number 136036, was stolen from his house in 1978.
The KED-Grade was used by one of my cousins when steel shot first came in and the last time I saw it in 2002 the chokes were bulged and the ribs popped loose! The 12-gauge AE-Grade is still in my gun safe along with my six Remington hammerless doubles.

LOL: Six hammerless doubles! Good for you! I have only one, but it's a pretty nice one. Probably made around 1910. Good bore, nice wood, no engraving. Strong lockup. Nice gun.
