Well, I had already been consorting with mad scientists in the dubious practice of shooting ancient guns and breaking with the ban on Damascus.
Sorcery at the loading table had already produced some low pressure loads to feed a very early LC Smith, and I hadn't lost any fingers yet, so the "G" got a little use.
I loved the Parker "G", and would have stopped there, but the dimensions didn't really work for me, and then just like that: Another one came along. This time with perfect dimensions, and then, next thing you know, I was a Parker collector. Even though I didn't know it at the time.
