I'll second that:bowdown:

Pictures... we need pictures!!

Garage sales
 

I picked up a Model 12 at a garage sale. I am sure I saved it from being made into a lamp or worse. It wasn't free but it was cheap. It had never been given the respect it was due.

There really should be a rule that no one is allowed to make any post like this without photos.

I have left this post alone because of several messages that I recieved that at the least not very nice. I have not posted pictures because it will just bring more messages.Maybe pictures can be sent to a trusted member and you can share them with each other. I am done with this post and it can be locked

Alan, there's no room in this Forum whether it be in form of pm's or out in the open for any forum member to be mistreated in any way. My suggestion to you is that if you feel you have received innappropriate messages whether in the public or private forum, you should forward them to the President of the PGCA and let the Leadership of the PGCA review them, make a determination and take appropriate action.

I would post pictures just to rub it in :).

Maybe you could get pictures to someone and they could write an article in the Parker Pages the name of the owner could be left anonymous. I am sorry to hear people are giving you crap.

It is highly unfair that the behavior of a very small minority can de-rail the enjoyment of the vast majority here in following this thread.
I'll bet there isn't a participant on this board that wouldn't have jumped on the deal that you got. Hopefully speaking for the majority here, we have really enjoyed this thread, up to this point.
We are all here because of our interest in Parker guns, and your story is definitely one of the most interesting I have read lately.
I vote for posting pics, and continuing on with this discussion.

What a shame one of OUR members gets flack like this for makeing a buy that from the sounds of things anyone of us would have jumped at. The negativity he's received prevents him from sharing such a wonderfull find with the rest of the membership:shock: At this moment I'm ashamed to be a PGCA member:nono:
