When I was given a 16ga hammer 0 grade under extraordinary circumstances---Destry heard the story and saw it while gunning our Eastern Shore---I bought the Johnson book and expressed my disappointment here. I rightly got my ears clipped by members who knew Peter Johnson as a friend and Parker enthusiast. Mr. Johnson apparently did the best with what he had. I mention this now because I would have felt differently about Johnson and his book if I had read what Bill disclosed above. It all comes out over time.
