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.

John Ulrich Engraved Winchester
I'm sure most of us received the flyer from Rock Island Auction, for the sale this past weekend.
I took particular note of the Ulrich engraved First Model 1873. Winchester Lever guns are a close second to my love of Parkers, but what really caught my eye was the beautiful monogram on the right side of the frame. The initials of the Winchester employee it was made for were JSB, but the monogram looks very much like ESB (the middle engraved letter of this style being the surname initial.)
I suggested to my wife that this gun would make a great addition to my Winchester collection. I didn't mention the pre-auction estimate was $160,000 to $275,000
I just got the tally of the sales, and "my gun", lot number 1008, went for a tidy $529,000. I am preparing myself for the letdown of not finding it under our tree.

Edgar, There's always the chance that your wife was the successful bidder. Better wait until Christmas morning.
