I would like to echo the comments of others regarding this issue of Parker Pages. Excellent!
Of particular interest was the article on the Lazarus gun. The gun was sold at a small auction close to my home and when I inspected it prior to the sale I realized it was a high grade gun. However, being the neophyte I am regarding collector pieces, I did not see it for exactly what it was. I decided it was way more than I wanted to tackle in refurbishment but decided to bid just to keep it from becoming a permanent wall hanger. My intent, should I win the bid, was to make it available at cost to the Parker community. Well, I lost the bid to a phone bidder that turned out to be Jim Dispagno. All is well that ends well as there was no better Parker collector to acquire this gun and the results displayed in the Parker Pages article is proof positive of that. Way to go Jim and Gary!
