I have a very early DH that has a similar story in the letter - shipped - a few years later sent back for repairs - 25 years passed and again sent by another owner - this time to open chokes and restock - eventually it ends up in my hands - the stock it wears now is not Parker work - but it fits me - has dropped many birds -so it stays with it history intact
