Awesome letter, Dane! The letter for my 6 frame 10 specified names and locations, also. What's cool is the fact that your gun is still in Duluth. There are not too many PGCA members up here. I am in Hibbing, one member is in Ely, and you. Welcome aboard.

:cheers:

You hit the jackpot Dane! You're one of the lucky ones.

Now you need to find out who or what the JHS represents.

Thanks Mark. Your last name sounds familiar. Do you shoot at O.V.T?

Some people I talked to were skeptical of the monte carlo being original. Good to see it is! Here is my previous post w/ photos. http://parkerguns.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9970

Dean, you seem very educated in Parkers. Is there anything uncommon or rare about this gun after reading the letter?

JHS is probably professional shooter J.H. Stair of Crookston, Minnesota. He was still shooting many hundreds and thousands of targets per year into the teens, maybe later.

Dane - There are several 'uncommon' things about your Parker. The letter that Chuck put together for you contains some very desirable information about the very specific instructions that Parker Bros. received. The DAH, DAC, LOP, Drop at end of butt, trigger pull weight, chamber length, Monte Carlo, Silvers pad, engraving instructions... literally everything about your letter is what we all hope and dream for when we send for a research letter. Yes, your Parker is very uncommon but equally desirable is that wonderful letter.

Best, Dean
