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.

Hello from Tejas
Thank you for the add to the forum look forward to learning more about These great guns. I made my first purchase last year in the 1926, 16 gauge on a 1 frame. Last Week I made my second purchase of a 28 inch barrel 16 gauge on an 0 frame, 1916. I am in engraver, silversmith, and do engrave a few guns. Most of my work is handmade silver buckles , money clips, and jewelry but most everything gets engraved. I have been engraving some handmade copper flask that have really taken off. Sorry, focus .My question is is it considered blasphemy to Engrave on an old original Parker? I poked around a little last night before I was fully allowed to look at pictures and ask questions and I did see some discussions about engraving nameplates and re-cutting original engraving.
It’s my hope that these gun would never leave my family but I do not want to totally devalue something my engraving on it if it is not considered ethical in the Parker community.Thank you again for the addition to the forum and look forward to hearing about peoples adventures in the field the season.

Welcome Greg!
It is only considered blasphemous if you do it to an original high condition gun, but hey - it’s your gun after all…
It wouldn’t necessarily devalue the gun unless it was an otherwise, as I said, high condition gun. And doing so would make the untouched ones a tad more hard to find and a tad more valuable.
