Ed Murderlak had "Benchmark Parkers." As I recall him telling me, these guns were those of the highest factory condition he owned. If a new gun came along it must be equal to or better to even consider. I know some of you have one or more of Ed's benchmark Parkers.
On another note I've found that the pistols, rifles, and shotguns I've amassed over the years hold little to no interest by the grandchildren. They are into semi-autos.
