Several of the Pachmayr guns caused DU a lot of trouble.Pachmayr donated one gun to each DU state chapter to be raffled off.When the winner got his gun he also got a bill from the IRS based on Pachmayr's tax evaluation of the value.In many cases the tax bill was twice the current real value of the gun.DU had several lawsuits because of this.Many of the guns were returned to DU.They were not all Parkers.There were model 21s,Merkels,LC Smiths.and several upgraded Spanish guns.

Are Pachmayr records available anywhere, on the guns they altered? Would love to find out “when” Pachmayr worked on my GHE.

The original Pachmayr on Grand St,Los Angeles went out of business long, long ago. From what I've been told is the records were lost in a fire. The only way to prove a Pachmayr Gun is to have original receipts and/or letter head documents.

Why do we have a Pachmayr upgrade topic in the Parker Reproduction section of this site?

These are custom upgraded original Parker shotguns, not Parker Reproductions. Just asking because it's a little confusing when you mix apples & oranges.

Hello all, new to the board. This high class of Parker society has caught my eye since 2010 when I laid my hands upon a nice Parker. Keen to learn more about the journey of this part of American folklore. Cheers to everyone on board the Parker Wagon.
