I recently came across 3 of Shelly Gitman’s Parker stocks while at the Southern. Two SBT stocks one capped and the other straight both have Del Grego pads. The other a small bore straight grip looks to be from a Grade 5. All had SG on the oval in identical font. The two straights with along with some of their furniture I brought home. They are nice attractive stocks. Thanks to Mr McCormack’s sharing here with us of his friend Mr Gitman and of the night of the Perfect Storm. As an aside there is one of our own that was out in the North Atlantic that night and like F/V Andrea Gail, out of Gloucester. Parkers have always attracted some very interesting people.
