What a great day for you and Elaine Garry!!
I have loved that gun since the first time I held it sooo many years ago on Steve's tables at Ernie's.
In fact, I was just talking with it's former 'custodian' yesterday and the subject of that sweet Parker came into our conversation. What a treasure it is and it's very nice to know where it finally ended up. That gun couldn't have asked for a better new 'custodian' than you!
Incidentally, that is one of only two Parkers I have ever seen with wedge engraving on Damascus barrels - Congratulations!!
Merry Christmas!
