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.

Engravers bailed??? And what does that have to do with case coloring?

Yes, during the depression, employment at Meriden was at a low, but so was gun production.
Why would anyone during a depression bail? If jobs were available, people kept them.

And, not to mention, there is documentation that Ilion was having a hard time getting correct colors on Parkers after the 1938 move. They had to consult with former Meriden employees like JP Hayes to get the process right.
So... Why would Ilion be doing Meriden's coloring in 1935?
