In the interest of contrast here is a Charles Daley Diamond grade gun, but made much later and by the Japanese. BIG diff.





It is still hand engraved and it is pretty nice. Little hand held camera was challenged however.

beautiful sxs, you just dont see the workmanship anymore, those damascus barrels are awesome, i love the patterns!

Since I don't know what in hell Bruce is talking about, I choose to ignore his last post. I don't have any idea who referred to Lindbergh, raincoats, or made any other disparaging remarks about Mr. Herzog's guns. I also have no idea who displayed A Grades and was offended. Out of 1200 members of PGCA, any or all of whom may read this forum, probably no more than two of them are guilty of the offenses that Bruce alludes to. I have always thought that the "Not the Czar's Gun" is a wonderful effort. I have served on the PGCA Jury at the Gold Medal Concours and either did or would have voted for that gun in whatever category it was entered in. If someone made a negative remark about the gun on this forum, he would have used his proper name and Bruce's venom could be directed at that person instead of all 1200 of us. Bill Murphy

See Kevin McCormack's post of 11/19/2012 at 04:17pm running down my friend's Czar Memorial gun and claiming that it gave him nightmares, followed immediately by Bill Murphy's post at 05:20pm :

" Thank you, Kevin, for your level headed assessment of the Czar's gun situation."

We had discussions about this last week. For the foreseeable future forum viewers will not see photos of guns from one of the finest Parker collections around. As for mine, detailed gun photos will be few and far between. There are plenty of Parkers out there; other people can post photos of their guns for public comment.

I just re-read this entire thread and the Tsar thread. My conclusion: I'm glad I am a simple man who doesn't hold with all this petty bickering and rehashing old personal grudges. Bruce and Charlie, please continue your pictures and enlightening education of this Parker loving community.

Well Eric, you call Charlie. He doesn't like getting kicked in the teeth and neither do I. You talk to him

[Opening Day]

Well I'll give it a try, but it really pisses me off that one person ruined it for all of us.....!

Bruce, my reply to Kevin's loosely constucted post was meant to be tongue in cheek. Anyone who read Kevin's post should know that my "level headed" comment was not meant to be a compliment. Sorry my comment was misinterpreted. Bruce, be sure your friend reads this reply. Murphy
