I have a copy in a brown smooth cover with the logo in gold. It is a second printing, 1977. I believe that the one I am looking for would be the first printing of 1974. Volume II has a copyright date of 1976. I would be willing to pay up to $50.00 for the right one.

George ... You might find what you're looking for under the heading of "Parker" or "Parker Shotguns" on Ebay. ... I monitor those sites every day and copies of Johnson's book, Larry Baer's books, and Ed Muderlak's books, and The Parker Story come up for sale quite frequently.

Someday when all the principal players in the ownership(s) of the Invincibles have left the planet, the intriguing story of these enigmatic guns can and will be told. When I checked on them a few hours ago, they were still safe and sound over at the Museum.

None of the Parker books take quite this much effort and agony to find. If you'll enter the title and author on:

www.abebooks.com

You'll find a listing for a bunch of small time book dealers that have them on hand.

I happen to enjoy searching the "Mom and Pop" private networks for hard to find books, shell boxes, ammo for friends. Glenn has almost 1000 o.p. books in his shop at my last visit anyway, and I'd rather see him get a sale than someone that I don't really know. Long before the internet and E-Bay came on the scene that's how I did it, and I am an "old dog" when it comes to learning new tricks I suppose. But thanks for the info on the abe-site, I am sure you are right about current Parker books being available-PS- I went there and you were right, but my visit also confirmed, at least to me, that the $30 price I offered Mark for my "spare copy" and the $50.00 range my SC friend George Lander mentioned in his PM to me, are both "right as rain"!!

I have three Larry Baer Parker books -- The Parker Gun an Imortal American Classic with gold embossing on a brown cover, copyright 1974, First Edition -- The Parker Gun an Immortal American Classic, Volume II with silver embossing on a black cover, copyright 1976, First Edition -- The Parker Gun with gold lettering on the spine of a battleship grey book, copyright 1980, essentially a combination and reissue of the first two books. None are called Volume I.

O.K. Dave: That tells me what I wanted to know, I think. I figured there was a Volume I with a black cover & silver logo like Volume II. Perhaps there wasn't and Volume I is as you describe.

Best Regards, George

Hi George. I didn't find any Parker books at all at the "Mom & Pop" book store- did get a Mint Copy with DJ of George B. Evan's "The Upland Shooting Life" and also the 1974 Jimmy Robinson ATA Hall of Fame book- great fotos and details on the older days and gentlemen and lady shooters of another era- also mentions Nash Buckingham and the members of his famous "Gin Squad" Team- Nothing about Captain Harold Money though. Perhaps you might wish to follow Destry's lead and go to Abe's books-I'll keep an eye out until you say otherwise howsomeever!! F.M.
