What a deal! You certainly can find the Parkers and Foxes. Will you share your secrets with me at the Southern. I'm still looking for any 32" Fox, Sterly on up.

I received my letter from MC in record time THANKS. As you can see no mention of the Silvers Pad. My understanding is if it had a Silvers pad it would be reflected in the price (an additional $5.00) The pad is rock hard plus the butt is curved and the widows peak is present on the top pad/stock. What is your best guess on the pad. The LOP with the pad is 14", same as the letter? Thanks Craig (beginner Parker collector)

Craig: you'll be lucky if the "Parker Police" don't arrest and fine you for practically stealing that gun! You did very very well....

Craig,
Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful gun. I love the C grades. I have a B but I just seem to like the Cs more. Yours is outstanding.

Best Regards,
Larry

Craig, my "best guess on the pad" is don't mess with it. If the gun is ever offered to me with other than that pad, the price will be way lower than if that pad were still there. Originality is everything, even if originality is a few years later than the manufacture of the gun.
