When Don came into my store, I sat down and listened. Don was certainly one of the greats. he was the king of the 21 Winchester, but loved the Parkrs as well. He showed me several of the very high grade upgrades, and then at the Las vegas show showed me a Monogram L C Smith and then showed me another. He said look at rhe serial numbers, and I was surprised to see the same serial numbers on both guns, and the engraving and wood were absolutely identical. Another Don Criswell lesson. Always look before you leap.
