Just today opened the new PP...Pleasantly surprised to see the photo of one of my O frame 16s in the article. That gun has original blue and wood.....but the colors were mostly gone. It was one of the last guns that Bachelders did the color on. I remember it took 8 months. My 16s run the gamut from this 26"..to my VHE 32"...a gun I bought with the safety removed. Dave in Ca. put one in for me.. Another outstanding issue for us Parker fanatics.. !...
