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.

Straight Grain Parker:
I was inspired by the 2025 PGCA raffle gun to pull out a 1904 Damascus DH 12 with vivid straight grain from the head to the butt. This one demonstrates about as true a straight grain stock you will see.
The visible knot is looks almost 3D, though it’s smooth across the surface.
Any other examples the membership care to share?

The only Parker I have that's anywhere near that straight grained is a Trojan, but the grain doesn't have the contrast between the layers that your DH has. That is a beautiful gun you have there! Let me know if you ever decide to sell it.
