He used to sell high quality military guns before he closed Warrenton business and went to work for North Eastern auction house.

Gun buyers and collectors have always gotten older and died. They keep getting replaced by younger guys.

That dealer was trying to lowball the young Parker guy
The young Parker guy was there to exchange his gun for cash. You should have approached him with a fair offer as soon as he walked away from that dealer. Time spent at Gun Shows is for finding deals you'd likely not find just walking into a gun shop. They are not a place for paying an admission fee to just kick tires.

For the record, Ray Poudrier is alive and well.

Well that is good to hear!! I Googled him and others and never could actually get anything definite on him. I saw mention of Bob Rowley in relation to the Vintagers. I also ran across Jack Dudley and his wife living now apparently in Kittery Maine. No social media trails and no further mention of anything Vintager (original) found anywhere. The one thing I found that I did not know (if it is correct) said that Jack Dudley was a co-founder of the original Order of Edwardian Gunners. I was always under the impression that Ray was The Man, but I also never knew anything about them except from the pictures that Dave always posted after the big shoots. I saw Doug Turnbull and Dave Trevallion menitoned in several places. It is kinda sad to see that original group fade away. Oh well!! Hopefully there are some younger ones that will take the reins. And, of course, there are the scattered groups around that are still active. I would like to shoot at least once in one of these gatherings before I go away myself.

The NE chapter of Vintagers still holds a shoot every August in Vermont in Burke. It is a 2-3 day event and well worth attending. The chapter has an email list and I’m sure you can Google and have your name added.
