The theme for the PGCA tent display at the Southern will be "
THE LONG & SHORT OF IT". This theme has repeatedly surfaced by several Members so let's make a run at it. The requirements will be any Parker with barrels "less than 26" or any Parker with barrels "30" or longer" which would include the SBT guns. We are going to include the 30" guns so you fellas can bring out the 410 and 28 bores.
In addition to this with the passing of our PGCA friend
GEOFFROY GOURNET the PGCA would like to invite anyone with a gun engraved by Geoffroy to display it at the tent. As always we will make room on the table for “
MY FAVORITE PARKER” if at all possible so feel free to bring your favorite Parker.
All PGCA members and even non-members are invited to display. I have created a display card that can be affixed to each gun. If you would be so kind as to drop me a line at
randy@hsiagency.com with the info on your Parker I will prepare the card.
Please include the grade, gauge, DOM, frame size, and barrel length. Possibly a short comment and include your name or not. One thing I have noticed in the tent is that folks are continually inquiring as to "who owns that gun". If you do choose to put your name on the card my hope is that it will allow attendees to identify the owner and create some dialog with them thereby generating additional interest and certainly sharing the vast knowledge of the PGCA membership. Adding your name or not is your decision. Also feel free to bring any other Parker memorabilia along for display, all items welcomed with space permitting.
As in the past the PGCA will provide the tables, covers, and miscellaneous display items. We will do our best to be certain that no guns are left behind each evening but ultimately that responsibility will fall upon the owner. Looking forward to hearing from some of you with display guns and also to seeing some old friends again. See you all soon.
Best:
Randy Roberts
