Also, as far as I know, the person who (falsely) claimed to have a letter on my gun is listed as a 'forum member" but he may be a PGCA member.
I really appreciate the kind words about this gun and the help you have given me in researching the original owner. I am in this for the history, beautiful guns, and the friends I have been able to make along the way.

Wally, Interesting and Sad that someone here claimed to have a "
letter" and information on your Parker that diminished it's originality, which was then followed by a
Low-Ball offer to buy it from you.... Unfortunately yours is not an isolated incident, I've also experienced this first hand, and have spoken to several others here with similar accounts of someone who claimed to have certain (
misleading & false) Parker information in a dishonest attempt to buy their guns
on the cheap...
On a brighter note, you certainly have found a great 2-barrel set with some outstanding history... Please keep us updated on any further provenance you might discover on
James W. Byrnes in the future... You mentioned earlier that you were "
in this for the history"..... The campaign photo image below indicates
James W. Byrnes was a candidate for Mayor of St Louis in the early 1920's... Hope this helps put a face to the man who originally ordered your very unique DHE....
Best, CSL
