Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Engraving the shield
I just bought a really sweet refinished 20 gauge VH. It has a straight stock and is beautiful. My plan is to hand it down to my son someday. I was thinking about getting the shield engraved so that 100 years from now hopefully my descendants will be remembering when the gun came into our family  . As the gun is refinished I wouldn't be "damaging" an original. What do others think? Have any of you done it? Who could do it if I decide to have it done and how much does it usually cost? Thanks for input.

Steve, there are any number of competent engravers who can do this and any of the gunsmiths participating in the Forum can assist you. When I had DelGrego's rebuild my grandfather's 16 VH Parker, I had them engrave the shield with the 'N' for Newell and for the same reason as you wish to do. By the way, over the years and when Parker and/or Remington were servicing Parkers, many owners shipped their Parkers back to the factory for any number of re-work to be done, including re-stocking, upgrading etc. Don't feel you have to feel anything but proud to own a nice 20 ga Parker, refinished or not. Congrats. I'd like to find a nice 20 ga Parker original or not!
