One of my good neighbors is a County Deputy- road patrol- but he has told me of the hazards of working in a lock-up, no matter what area. I always recall the great line from the movie with Kevin Costner as Treasury Agent Ness trying to bust Al Capone (Robert Di Niro) and Sean Connery as the honest Chicago beat cop that helps him-- on the bridge at evening- "First rule of being a cop- always make sure you are alive at the end of your shift!"
The $40 to get a letter on your Parker is a sound investment- I did that for two 1904 era PH Parkers with Twist barrels, detailed the order entry, date shipped from Meriden and to which dealer that Parker went-
Welcome indeed to the PGCA, and congratulations on your first (but likely not last) Parker--
