Thank you Kenneth and Welcome to the PGCA Forum.
There is a lot more than meets the eye of the "Forum Associate" here in the PGCA. What you are not seeing are the "Members Only" sections of this website, one of which is the ability to buy and sell fine shotguns as well as many other sporting and shooting acoutrements as well as books and art... a LOT of guns change hands on the Members Only pages. Another great benefit of membership is the quarterly Parker Pages "newsletter" which is actually a glossy, color, forty-eight page magazine with some of the best Parker technical articles and stories of Parkers in the field that you'll find anywhere! Another benefit of Membership is the ability of getting a PGCA Research Letter on any and all of your Parkers for only $40 each..... non-members pay $100 each. You really should consider joining the PGCA as an annual member - it's only $40 per year for all of these benefits. Merry Christmas! |

Dave, thank you. For what it's worth I now have a VH 12 Gauge with 30 inch barrels in full and full. Serial number 208xxx. All original and now the pride of my gun collection. I was fortunate to come across this gun that has not been, re-blued, refinished or altered with the exception of the stock pin. I plan on ordering spreader shells from RST to get the most use I can from this gun. Now I'm on the hunt for a 20 gauge!

Thank you. I have every intention of joining. I guess this is the first step by signing up for the forums. $40 is a bargain for what I've read on the free forums. I can only imagine what is there on the member forums. Thanks! |

Hi Kenneth,
Welcome to the PCGA forums and hopefully the PGCA. To strongly emphasize what Dean stated, joining the PGCA provides members with valuable tools. First is the quarterly published PARKER PAGES. This is in fact a small magazine filled with articles from ordinary members such as me. Then there are those articles researched and written by the old breed of Parker collectors. Reading any of those literary classics by our old timers will, providing you use the information, save you much more than $40 annual membership fee on your next acquisition of a Parker. Next there is the For Sale and Wanted to Buy members only forums. I personally have bought and sold several Parkers and other vintage doubles using those. I have also acquired a Parker vise, pristine vintage shotgun shells with their boxes, a 100 year old trap, and other "stuff" which I could not live without. Finally there is the network of PGCA members.. This network will willingly help forum associates but once you join the PGCA and get to know the other members the doors to greater knowledge and deals on rare Parkers will open. Through this network I have bought and sold some very collectible, highly desirable Parkers to members who travel in circles which I can barely imagine. Welcome to the PGCA! Mark

Welcome to the board Ken

I'm coming to the realization that both are going to happen. I waited this long for my first. I'll wait for the 20 but not sure how long. I just got my first flat of RST 2 1/2 shells while I was in Atlanta from Chucks Gun Shop. That wasn't so bad. LOL.
