She's very special to me. She was my first Parker, bought in 1971 for $600, and cased in a beautiful Red Head LOM. I knew nothing about Parkers at the time but only that I wanted one. It's been all downhill since then.
It was followed up 6 months later with a straight grip 20 VHE, one of the "transition" guns, which I traded a Belgian Browning made for the European market. That Browning set me back $400. Saw the for sale add in the grocery store. My, my how times have changed.
