Wow

That is a lot of history on this gun, a great example of why letters are important

Well, I'm new at this job and I screwed up Ed's letter. Can any one of you Parker detectives tell me what I did wrong.

Don't worry Ed, a revised letter will go out tomorrow.

Mark Ouellette 05-21-2012 09:09 PM
A 4 digit serial number, "6000".

Chuck Bishop 05-21-2012 09:46 PM
Mark, you got it! In my own defense, Ed did have 6000 on his request form but all the information is correct.

Also, if you read the letter, this gun was ordered by C.E.P. in 1890 but not shipped to Laughton until 1892. I didn't put the 1890 in the letter but I will on the revised letter. I got to thinking if this gun was built for an exposition so I got out TPS. It wasn't built for an exposition but it is listed as one of the many guns ordered by Charles Eddy Parker. According to TPS, some were built for individuals, some were sent to dealers, some were show displays, and some remained in stock for several years. Many could have been used as salesman's samples. TPS authors state that these C.E.P. guns were special in every way.

Contrats, Ed.

Ed: I believe that Larry DelGrego is somewhere in your neighborhood but I don'y have his address or phone number. I'm sure that someone here does.

Best Regards, George

Isn't the DelGreco shop still in Ilion NY?
