Arthur DuBray and Ordering Parker

[Bruce Day]

Stopped by the old Sutter Hotel at Sutter and Geary in San Francisco to visit with Arthur DuBray, the west coast Parker representative. DuBray lives on the seventh floor but unfortunately he was not in. I had my heart set on ordering a new Parker.

I wanted to see if Parker had any 20ga Bernard barrels left and wanted a 28" straight stock, skeleton butt, dt, splinter forend. Wanted to see if the engraver would do the old style rondelle side panels and a nice prairie chicken on the bottom.
