Is this an insider thing, or an actual Parker perhaps owned by, in the words of the late George Smith Patton Jr.- "A cheap pimp in a New Orleans Sportin' House"??

Years ago, when I worked for Van Dam Boiler Co. I saw a "tricked out" 20 gauge Ithaca Auto & Burglar gun- it was in a carrying case, and the wooden grips were inset with either pearl or other showy material. One of the owners was a big time gun collector, specializing in handguns and especially from the "Roaring twenties era" in our history.

Van Dam was based in Grand Haven- all along the eastern shoreline of lake Michigan were houses and hideouts, mainly Capone & Co. from "Shy-Town". Great but violent history indeed.
