Quick thank you to the research committee on the fast turn around on my Parker letters.
I am on Vancouver Island in BC and it is interesting to note that out of these eight letters, five were for Parkers originally shipped to Canada and one was to Seattle (which is pretty close).
I would have thought most of the guns would have migrated up here over the years from the USA as Parkers don't seem that common in these woods - I saw less than a handful recently at Canada's largest antique gun show and only one of interest.
Conversely I have several Colt letters from the same era and, thus far, only two were for guns directly shipped from the factory to Canada and they were WWI orders.
Thanks to this forum two new Parkers are about to acquire Canadian 'citizenship'
and I hope to see a few more Parkers 'imigrate' in the next while.
