About 20 years ago I acquired a GH 12 from the original Joliet family that had it for 102 years. It was handed down from father to son for 3 generations then hit a daughter that couldn't have "evil guns" in the house. It was my fifth Parker and is my Talisman of what an unmolested original looks and feels like.
Fortunately my daughter wants my "Parkers" and she will get them when I finally depart this mortal coil. In the final analysis we are all just curators of these expressions of art and skill rendered in wood and steel to pass to the next generation who will cherish them as we do.
