A Concise History of the Famous American Shotgun Manufacturing Company.
Parker Guns: The "Old Reliable" by Ed Muderlak is a definitive tribute to America’s finest and most beloved shotgun. Known for their craftsmanship, elegance, and rugged dependability, Parker shotguns earned the nickname “Old Reliable” among sportsmen. In this richly illustrated volume, Muderlak combines meticulous research with engaging storytelling to trace the history of the Parker Gun Company, its innovations, and the people who made the Parker legacy endure. From the field to the collector’s cabinet, this book captures the artistry, performance, and enduring mystique of the Parker, cementing its place as an American classic.
The Parker Gun Co. is a never-ending source of interest for collectors of American shotguns. Unlike most gunwriters, Ed Muderlak has done a remarkable job doing original research instead of repeating the same (and often mistaken) information of others. The interesting results will set the conventional wisdom expressed by gunwriters on its head. Muderlak takes a refreshing look at the small beginnings, the golden years, and the ultimate decline of what must be the most famous of all American shotgun manufacturers. Well illustrated with dozens of color photos of Parker guns as well as historical photos in black and white. In addition to a well-written and concise text, the author has assembled an appendix that lists grades, patents, gun weights, serial numbers, and many other specifications for the Parker enthusiast. Again he did his own research for these appendices and came up with some revealing results. A must-have for the American shotgun enthusiast.
