Yes, I do tease Murph occasionally, and yes, we have exchanged some very interesting research over the years, but more importantly, I like O'l eightbore, I respect his gun knowledge, and the Parker world would be a less interesting place without him...
Bill, you might want to check that old Try-Gun photo again, yes the immortal Jack Fanning is in the image, but the guy actually holding the Try-Gun (standing next to Jack) is Louis III Parker's GrandDad, Lou Parker Sr... It doesn't get much better than that when it comes to great historical provenance...
Whoever it was that sent Bruce those e-mails suggesting he was a Pig or a Skunk should be ashamed of themselves..... Nuff said...
Best, CSL
