The old Chadick number is 972 563 7577. They lived on Ninth Street in town and on weekends went out to his ranch east a little ways. If Mrs Chadick answers, she might have Tom's number if he still works at all.

Whatever you do, don't sell the gun to somebody from back east. They get all the good guns back there and leave us with nothing out here.

That would have been the perfect shot huh? But only if Grandpa was holding the Parker in his hand along with it (a clear picture of course)

Dee, some of those other guns might have some significant value - the 1911 Colt for one. If in good condition and the right range of years and ser. No. could be valuable.

I can assure you that it is in PRISTINE condition. I took it to the gun range and shot it, and must say it shoots very nice!

Sorry for your loss of so many loved ones in such a short span of time.

Would there be any Millers in your family line? Looking at the pictures of your Great Grandfather, I thought I was looking at my uncle Ammon.

Cheers
Marcus

Thank you for your condolences....I do not have any Millers in my family. It is all Durham, Grimmet, Jones, and Head.

Hi Dee,
I think the gun is cool just like it is. The skins he had looked like maybe coons muskrat hard to tell the way they r hanging. best ch sorry for your loss as well. The ol fellow was the real deal, a hunter trapper who did it to put food on the table. Unlike us who just do it 4 fun.

Bruce: Do you know if Herschel is still living? I still see his ads in Shotgun News. Is he still in the old bank building in downtown Terrell? I was there years ago and tried to buy a Parker once owned by Jim Corbett (so marked on the barrels)

Best Regards, George
