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.

Had a BHE 12ga that was really a beautiful piece. All work was top notch.
Currently have a VH 410 that is an early DG restoration. It has the cyanide case colors that are incorrect for the period of the gun. The mostly unengraved receiver really shows the vivid tiger stripe case coloring and is not as pleasing to me as the original Parker bone charcoal colors. Also on this receiver the DG polishing line at the bolsters is distinctly obvious when held at certain angles.
I have no idea what this gun looked like before it was restored but I think I might have liked it better left alone.
I personally prefer honest original guns to restorations but not to the point of exclusion.
