Bill many people would look at the cold blued Titanic and accept it as factory back in the day. I suppose Bernard steel would have been more believable. The nitro proofs raise a red flag and how about that serial which exceeds Parker production by more than 30,000. Peter Johnson may not have been the most knowledgeable Parker collector but he cultivated a great deal of interest in Parkers and American doubles in general for having taken the time to write the book.
