Parker Restoration

[Researcher]

Back in early 2001, when I was approaching my 55th birthday, I was pondering buying a virtually new 20-gauge VH-Grade Parker Bros. that had been left in a case for decades which did the metal no good. Before I could make up my mind, my Wife bought it for my 55th birthday. I used it some as it was, but finally took it to Bachelders the summer I was 70.

Dave, I'm sure that most of the members are impressed with that fine Parker (as they should be). However, my first thought is, "Nice wife"!

Dave I have one like it but not that nice. Bobby

Bobby, were you referring to a gun or your wife?!!! My 55th b-day has come and gone and my wife didn’t buy me a Parker!!

My 76th birthday has come and gone and not any kind of gun received. Bobby

My 66th was recently, and I bought myself the first pumpgun of my life, a 1938 Montgomery Wards/Browning model 30, 20 ga. My lovely wife had nothing to do with it, as she wouldn't have any clue what kind of guns I would like to have.

I need to take some pics of it I guess. It's a neat little gun.

Nice Dave!! BTW, my wife buys me guns when she goes along to the Southern. She hasn't been with me there for 3 years. She also buys me guns when I win a bet. She stopped betting me in 2014 when I won an A grade Fox.
