Shane, it happens, you're not the first or the last. Please join the PGCA and come to Louisville if you can.
I recall a few years ago when a member who is now a significant collector wanted to get into Parkers. He is a big guy and wanted the big bores, so he came to the PArker meeting at the Southern Side by Side in N.C. and picked everyone's brain. He bought a first rate big Parker there and has acquired more, all no excuses guns, all stemming from his first buy and so far as I know, he has paid fair price for all and they have risen in value. I had one Parker when I started, joined the PGCA and picked a lot of people's brains, now I have a few more.
Regards,
Bruce Day
