I got an update on Dave about a week ago. He is unlicensed at the moment because he moved from his shop/home to a new location. The ATF needs to reissue the papers so ....... ? He didn't move far, he is still in Maine. A fellow PGCA member has his new address and promised to share it with me but as yet I have not learned it. When I do, I can check with Dave and get a more up to date status.

If David showed interest in this project, I would jump on it. However, I don't expect him to respond. That said, I like David a lot and would appreciate his input.

Like Paul, I also have a gun (AH) that was shipped to Tryon on Nov 19, 1901 and Fletcher on Feb 3, 1902 for show/exhibition purposes. Does anyone know what these shows were or the names of these shows? Thx, Ray

We should thank the Good Lord he was able to get to a new location finally.

Can't wait to see photos of Bill's find. Also the fact that it needs restoration means we will get more installments of this great story.

Huh?

Bill. I'm glad that all the Parker parts have been brought back together, I am more glad that you are doing well in your healing.
So many people have posted on this link so many times that I begin to thing I know them and you. I am relitively new to the Parker & PGCA world and have not yet met anyone else personaly but by reading this post I'm glad I joined and hope to meet other members like yourself. God bless.

Pictures are on hold awaiting Mr. McCormack's fluffing of the case. The gun will be out for a top lever spring and a couple of new screws. The engraving is untouched but a bit brown. I found a Frontier pad in the loading room and will fool with that a bit on friend Dean's advice.

Some before and after pictures would be cool. Something about seeing the results of restoration money that makes it all worth it.

I have the two barrel CH Grade Bernard gun packed up for the Fall Southern. The 28" barrels now live on the great little DH that John Davis provided me with, so this will be a two gun display. The case will not make the trip since it is in Kevin McCormack's case hospital for the winter. The gun is in unrestored condition with broken straight grip buttstock, but with original skeleton butt. I hope you will enjoy seeing the "Rest of the Story".
