Gentlemen,

We as collectors are very lucky that we have access to the records of Parkers that we do!.

I wish to pay a special thanks to those who took their time and worked so hard in copying and transcribing the Parker records. Also, another thanks to Misters Gunther, Mullins, Parker, Price, and Cote' for researching and writing THE PARKER STORY. A final thanks to Misters Price and Fjestad for the same for the PARKER GUN IDENTIFICATION & SERIALIZATION book, i.e. "The Book".

I agree with our Fishtail friend that maintaining records via hand written entries on paper is hard to achieve 100% accuracy and just as hard to preserve those records over the years! Just look at all the missing information for LC Smith and Lefever Arms shotguns.

Mark
