Bruce,

Great looking PHE. Is this your first Parker? I can't remember who had a PH as their first. I was thinking it was you.

Interesting this thread should be under the "Parker Engravers and Engraving" heading... did you mean to post it under the "Parkers for Sale" heading?

Default Parker PH

Charlie Green is shown examining my 32 inch - straight grip - 7 pound 3 ounce PH in Morris Baker's photo on page 19 of the current Winter 2010 Parker Pages.

Best, Austin

Austin, at 7lb., 3oz. with 32" barrels I'm guessing it's built on a 1-frame?

Austin, I saw that photo. I don't think I've seen the gun, but at 7/3, its extraordinarily light for a 12/32. The closest my guns come to that is a 12/32 ( straight grip) at 7/15, which I thought was light. Can you describe more about the gun, is it twist or fluid steel and how did Parker get it so light? I'm not saying the barrels are thin, but are they thinner than usually seen, say about .030 or a little under? I assume its a 1 frame gun but you know these one frames vary widely in weight.

Thanks for the extra copies of the Winter 2010 PP's. I have received a number of emails about the Parker Hawes article, as I'm sure you have also. I believe its the most comprehensive work on them so far.....too bad we didn't have that wonderful 28 page brochure at the time of writing, that only surfaced when I mentioned the article to a well known western fly fishing historian and rod builder. He said that a number of years ago, he bought a little used P-H rod in case with all paperwork, bill of sale, original pamphlet, from a person in western Nebraska who used to fish northern Colorado and who had purchased the rod new in 1934.

Best regards,
Bruce

Bruce, do "we" (the PGCA) actually have the brochure or a copy of it? Will we get to see it in it's entirety in an article in the near future or can we ask that an e-mail attachment be made available to us?

I don't know what the PGCA has or owns, Dean.

We may do a follow on PP article sometime, hadn't thought about it but as I find out more, maybe so.

I should have been more specific; The brochure you make mention of that the collector in Colorado told you about is the one I was referring to.

It would be great if enough new knowledge surfaces as a result of the article to support a "Part II" article.
Thanks Bruce,

Dean
