I may be wrong but didn't someone in management at Parker write a letter to Lou Smith at Ithaca critiquing the new Nitro Special in a friendly manner and tease him about being the mayor? Also wasn't the first Parker 410 built with a set of barrels made for a Nitro Special and refitted for the Parker frame? Thought I read that in "Ithaca From the Beginning" by Walt Snyder.
