Garry I do believe that is the finest Parker I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Beautiful gun and as you stated, ohhhhhhhhh the wood! It is much more suited to your passion and looks much better on you than it ever did me.
Enjoy it.

Thanks, Randy (and Reggie!), I'm so glad that the barrels weren't two inches longer.:)

Good point. It would still be in Cleveland most likely, TN that is :rotf:

Thanks, Brett! I appreciate your taking time to create those images and share them. It is indeed pretty amazing what can be done by almost anyone with these new digital editing programs.

I must admit a bias toward works created by hand, much like hand engraving on a gun vs. the laser version. My background and education is as an artist, so I hope you'll understand and excuse my bias. I know many folks like image fidelity and detail, but mood and feeling -- the gist of things -- is more important to me. These digital editing tools actually approach that, but I still like to see the hand of the artist when I look at a piece.

I've been working on a series of painting/drawings of Parker related subjects, contributing a limited edition print (printed in my studio by my wife and me) to the silent auction at our annual meetings. Here are some of those:

Mr. Roberts you are correct, BUT it wouldn’t likely have made it to TN.

From Cleveland TN then Wayne Mayes musta owned it :whistle:

Good point. It all worked out the way it was supposed to I reckon.

Gary,

Just wonderful! If I make it to the meeting I’ll be bidding on those. :)


All the best,
Brett

I hope we see you there, Brett. The meeting and the Southern are worth the trip.

Randy, Not 20 minutes ago, I said nearly the same thing to another member. Not the owning part, regrettably, but having seen. Now I have to go downstairs and apologize to my BHE20.
