Robert, You make some good points...
I'm a little concerned about O'l Murph, every time one of these rare sleepers emerges from seclusion it seems like the excitement takes a bit more out of him... We may need to get a support group together and make sure the lovely Linda is checking Bill's pulse and watching his blood pressure during these discovery periods...
... We all know that "Parker Excitement" can often be overwhelming... I remember several years ago KBM calling me over to a display table at the Vegas Gun Show just as the event was coming to an end, Kevin smiled handing me a very nice long barreled 28ga saying you have to shoulder this Parker before you go... As I recall the tachycardia in my chest was off the charts, and I still had a grin on my face as I boarded the plane for home, Yup, the 28-bore Parker was that nice!... One should never underestimate the alluring power of rare and interesting old double guns...
Best, CSL
