Bruce: Thanks for your input & info. As you probably know, I am not a gun dealer but and avid collector of fine doubles. I think that I was saddled with that "gun dealer" moniker by some disgruntled or perhaps envious folks who like to hide behind their computer. I am, and have been in the real estate business for 50 years. I do sell a gun from time to time and that enables me to buy another when one that I like becomes available. My web site is www.mylandco.com and if you look you will see real estate listings and "other sale items" which is where guns & other sporting collectibles are listed.The Parker that I enquired about I purchased at Holt's in England several years ago. I am as interested in it's history as in the gun itself. I agree, that investing in fine doubles is far less trouble and nerve wracking that investing in fine women. Thank you again for your input.

Best Regards, George
