That pretty well "splains" my position on the DHE 20 I just finished reworking. (see pix in restoration section.) I want to shoot, use, but not abuse a small bore Parker that cost me less than a repro and is very serviceable. I too like "virgins" and have some, but prefer to kiss and mud wrestle with a gal who has been behind a few good pointers in her day. I still take out one of the unmolested gals for a Sunday afternon at clays on occasion but am very careful to make it mostly "show and tell". Lee.
