Here is a copy of the letter not too exciting but Griffin and Howe has historical information so I requested it.

So you now possess AH 83183 and AH 83621 ?

Yes I own both, I have been very fortunate. The gun went back to the factory at some point because it now has the 1905 first style hardened bolt soldered in place as does 83183.

He has a GH 12 I would like if it were a lot less.

You couldn’t by chance be coaxed into dragging them both to Sanford ? :)

Craig: I would like to show you both guns but the logistics at the Southern make impossible to carry more than one gun. The parking lot is a long way from the Parker/Smith tent.

Craig, you don’t have a (golf bag/gun) cart?

Incidentally Craig, who is doing research packages at G&H now that Bob has retired?





.

Yes, and was successful...at least to a degree. Dickering is not my strength.

Mike has many of his guns at the Gun Shop in Olathe, Kansas (essentially, Kansas City). I like to stop in and look them over. You can spend much time with the number of guns he has there (and there's a comfy chair for the wife to sit in while you fondle guns). If you are passing through KC, you should stop in and check them out. He has a wide range of interesting guns.

Dean I have no idea who is doing the research, I just filled out the request form on line and e-mailed to the requested address. I don't own a shooting cart plus as I recall there is no place in the tent to "park" personal guns that are not part of the official PGCA display.
It may interesting to just have table space for members to park their Parkers while out shopping or visiting. While guns are parked it would be a nice opportunity to see a wide variety of guns.

I recall this AH 10ga being advertised for sale here at a very reasonable price before Mike purchased it.
