Craftsmen Generations Apart
As a postscript to Labor Day: Here's to the craftsmen who made our beloved Parker shotguns, and those today who help keep them looking good and finely tuned. In the case of this 1927 AH 16 gauge, I don't know the names of those who created it, but Parker Batchelder made the stock right again.

Damn, but the years have been kind to you my old girlfriend. Really a wonderful and uniquely engraved Parker. It's been awhile, but I never forget certain guns that grab ahold with both hands, and for us the timing wasn't right. Glad you could do right by her Gary worth it in every way! These pictures made my smile.
