Just checked the mailbox - it must have been delivered yesterday.
I always read “Parkers In Pulp” by John Davis, first and I’m about halfway through it when I read, according to the August 17th entry, the mainsprings on our hammerless Parkers were guaranteed for 25 years. John notes “Parker certainly didn’t lose any money on that guarantee.” I’ll go one further by saying I think Parker might have really boisted their sales numbers by guaranteeing those springs for fifty or even seventy-five years.
I wonder if any of us shooting our hammerless Parkers have experienced a broken mainspring?
