Sitting here drinking my second cup of java, I let my mind wonder back to the days when you got something for your dollar, People were proud of what they produced and sometimes lingered a little longer to make it just right! They did not worry about making it home for the six o'clock news cause they did not get off till then. That said I would have wanted in a Parker gun what I want today! AA hammer gun, 32" Whitworth Barrels in 12ga twin Ivory beads, deep relief engraving, with SSBP and Oyster shell stock. That gun would set me back 400-700 bucks then, but now that same gun, if it could be had! will cost you 200,000 plus. So I continue to dream on! Gary
