My interlude reading our association's journal for the Winter 2018 quarter, cover-to-cover, was over only too quickly. Super stories, up-dates, announcements for Members and useful, practical product and service advertising.
Now Volume 25, Issue 4 reposes with other past editions for future reference.
Yes, Mills… E. W. Tinker’s Serial Number 79… In previous issues we have been treated to other Parkers that had unique, off-the-standard-pattern engraving images: The Cow Gun; The Chicken Thief Gun and now we have what is literally and figuratively The Kick-Ass Gun.
Any well-executed engraving on a gun is an enhancement, worthy of study and appreciation. But these rare, if outré, Parker dramatic depictions are especially engaging, coming as they appear to right out of the 19th Century American genre art tradition.
Many thanks to all the writers and to Dean for his continual, monthly editing of all the many elements in each issue.
