Work Order Tag/ Pleasant Surprise
 
2 Attachment(s)
I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a work order tag in the mail yesterday for gun I own. The tag was gratiously provided unsolicited when the gentleman was informed that I was the current owner of the gun. What a cool piece of history. As I held it I tried to imagine myself in the Parker factory standing along side the craftsmen as they expertly ply their trade. Very cool. I continue to be humbled and amazed at the quality and character of The Parker Community.

It says: marked 3_4 weighs 3_2
The unstruck weight was mismarked?

Good work Dave. Super Sleuth.

That is way cool Dan. To me, better than a research letter.

Maybe the unstruck weight was 3_4 and the finished weight was 3_2?
