Great discussion. I am blessed with a few Parkers, some high condition but I will shoot any of them and will never have enough time to put much wear on them so they are safe for the next owner. It is great to clean and admire them and shoot when I can. Thanks to everyone for the great forum, it continues to educate and inform and the Parker Pages is just a great item and seems to get better with each issue! Can't say enough about all the work that goes into it and how well it is done!

Many seem to need to use something to justify the cost, they see objects more as tools. Many see the same objects as art and can appreciate them without using them as originally intended. Most are somewhere in between. I have some guns and a antique decoy collection that I really enjoy to look at but have no need to use them, I justify owning them because they bring me joy. And I think that is the bottom line for everyone, if you don't get joy out of owning an object remove it from your life. Life is to short to be burdened with things we don't enjoy.

This young Jewish guy decides to get married, so he goes to the Rabbi to ask for help in finding a mate. The Rabbi sets him up with a series of good Jewish girls. After about 10 dates, the young man goes back and says, 'Rabbi, I've decided to marry a Christian girl." "Oy vey," cries the Rabbi, "Why would you go and do such a thing??!!" The young man replies, "Well, these Jewish girls, they're all the same. All they do is complain - My elbow hurts! It's too cold in here! It's too hot in here! The soup is too salty!" The Rabbi says "Sure they complain - so tell me - do you think a Christian girl isn't gonna complain too?" "Sure," said the young man, "But a Christian girl - who cares??!!"[/QUOTE] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx This winchester left the Custom Shop in 1962. It carried AAA wood, 28" Barrels, Close chokes, 13 7/8" LOP, To a hard Butt Plate, 2 1/4" DAH, 1/4" right hand cast off. This gun always was a rainy day and field gun. Rain, Snow, Cold weather and mud. Different men fondling, and sometimes different men having their way with the gun. Many times being made to sleep in the kennel with the dogs. Finish and checkering is mostly gone from the stock, and much of the blueing is gone. "OY-VEY" How can this be. WELL-----" A WINCHESTER WHO CARES" ----- LOL I DID NOT OWN THIS GUN EARLY IN ITS LIFE OR WAS I RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE FIELD TRIAL RIBBONS DISPLAYED |
