Dave corrected me. The Editor's Gun is a grade 2. What's neat about it is the Vulcan barrels.

Nope... Sorry - The Editor's Gun is not a Grade 2. It is a Grade 0 or a Grade 1... but I think it is a Grade 0. I will look it up and let you know. It is made of at least 6 different Parkers, the last addition being the A-Grade forend tip I installed last Saturday night before shooting it at Addieville. This A-Grade forend tip is the one we used as the motif for the Distinguished Service Pin. It looks pretty nice on this 'one of a kind' Parker hammer gun.

Gary, it certainly helps to have such a great subject to shoot. Thanks again!

Official PGCA Photographer, I like the sound of that. Dean, do me a favor though and tell my wife that my new duty requires me to attend ALL of the SxS events where the PGCA will be this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of these O Grade Hammer guns together at the Southern in April. I'm sure there's a photo opportunity in there somewhere....

No problem Mike but remember your promise to us last October.... that you would bring your wife along so we can all meet her and she can enjoy all of this 'Parker stuff' like Deb, Adina, Linda, Jeannie, Kathy and so many of our wives do.... Remember?

Dean, I do remember and I'd love for you all to meet her. She's sitting next to me as I type this, and I've got commitment from her that she will at least join us all for dinner one night.
