It was such a great story. I had not yet caught the Parker "bug"when he first posted, so today was the first I had seen this thread, thanks to Mike for bringing it back up. To have such an incredible gun passed down as a family heirloom.... Seriously?? This is the stuff of a fairy tale. Sure makes you hope that that young fellow comes into a stage in life that will allow him to do a proper restoration of a once in a lifetime (if that frequent!) gun......
