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.

Regardless of the speculation posted regarding this gun, it's still a beautiful piece. I'm always fascinated by the expertise -- and personal opinions -- of my very knowledgeable Association colleagues. When I read the comments, I learn so much about Parkers, and also about human nature. I do think that sometimes there are different collecting philosophies at play that may seem to be conflicting -- not just about originality.
It seems to me that Tom is very fortunate to be in a position to purchase a gun like this, and that he has some soul searching to do to be able to decide exactly what his priorities are in getting a high grade Parker. It's a wonderful dilemma.
Tom, let us see what you decide upon!

I agree Garry.....Additionally, I would love to see what the steel barrels look like mounted on this gun!
