Just to clarify this before it gets confusing. G-MAN, Melvin Purvis, was presented with Dillinger's Parker by the Director, J. Edgar Hoover. Purvis later presented it to my friend and it is properly registered with BATF. The gun will, eventually most probably, be put of display at the South Carolina Military Museum in Columbia, South Carolina. The owner has, already, put much of his collection there that encompasses the "Roaring Twenties" and Carbine Williams. It is well worth a trip there to see if you are in the area and it's free (donations accepted).
Best Regards, George
