Yes, a big welcome to you Alexander!
You should find what you need right here with the PGCA. .

Welcome to the PGCA and congratulations on becoming a member. Check out the calendar on the home page see what’s coming up you could attend. There is no substitute for meeting up face to face with a bunch of Parker guys. If you can swing it, there is a major gathering in North Carolina April 27,28,29 where you can see and handle just about any vintage double ever made. In September we are having our annual meeting at Hopkins Game Farm in MD. Hope to meet you soon.

Let me add my welcome! And congratulations on retirement (pretty neat deal, huh?!).
The good folks on this site have an incredible depth of knowledge (not me!), can spot things of importance regarding Parkers even from poor quality photos (not me!), and love and respect the craftsmanship of American double guns (like me!). I hope you enjoy your newest pursuit.

Pretty neat to be able to retire is correct. More planning on what to do afterwards was needed.
Thank you all for a warm welcome. So far today I have failed to realize one shotgun due to sleeping at the switch. An extra $5 bid took it, and I took a nap. More room for my first Parker I guess. |

Sometimes it's good to believe in fate. I still regret losing some bids...and winning some. When it happens it happens. The more you learn, the better the results of your "bids." Take it from someone who still learns as much as he can, whenever he can (and sometimes, still, the hard way).
