Russ Bickel also had gone to the trouble to special order a set of number stamps that matched the Parker ones. Not many gunsmiths have or had his attention to detail. He was absolutely the only one I ever saw who could stock a Parker or a Fox and have you wondering if it was original or not. I doubt there will be another to equal him in the woodwork department for a long time, if ever.......
