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.

Mr Day:
While I respect you views, I must demur. The grounds for "restoring" anything should be the respectful reversal of accidental devastation or gross neglect to the point of harm to the article at hand. This gun exhibits none of that. It is a classic example of gunmaking art that should be left alone... and its history pondered. This gun has provenance.

To me, even the word "restore" is chilling. Restore to what? New? Then what?

Personally, I'd rather have John Browning's personally handled, sweat-stained stock than any restoration by any restorer.

Just my view of things. And I certainly respect yours.

Best, Kensal
