I never met Bill Wise but, thanks to fellow Parker Gun Collectors Association member and frequent contributer to this board, I own one of his shotguns. It is a well used Grade 3 Parker Top Action (hammer) 10 gauge with 32" barreld on a #4 frame. It is currently being completely restored by Brad Bachelder. It was reported that the gun was called the "Bismark" but the those Chesapeake Bay waterfowlers who heard its rath. I do not know if Bill ever shot the Bismark at a duck but I'd like to think that he had. Nevertheless, it will once again take ducks and when it does, I shall remember that a shotgunner far greater than I once owned the Bismark.
Most respectfully,
Mark
