This thread reminds me of the old saying about an elephant in the room. Many of us know of this gun, some of us know it's owner and a small fortunate number of us have handled and shot the gun. It's a beautiful and unique Parker, surely one of the nicest trap guns Parker ever produced and with provenance to it's first owner. Despite it's weight and long barrels it is so perfectly balanced it moves to the target effortlessly. To a trapshooter that it fits it is indeed a magic wand. A decision to sell such a gun would not be easy but life changes in many ways as we grow older. I am confident this was a well thought and deliberate choice and surely bittersweet. I wish the current owner, a friend to many of us, great success and hope the gun brings more than the estimated range.
