Wally: James F. "Jimmy" Byrnes was a former Governor of South Carolina. Before that he was Secretary of State under President Truman although he had switched parties from Democrat to Republican when he refused to join the Ku Klux Klan. He was an intimate friend and hunting partner of Bernard Baruch at Hobcaw Barony near Georgetown, South Carolina. You have a beautiful and valuable Parker. You should order a letter on it and track down it's history.
Best Regards, George
