Finally, I just received an email with my "Parker Research Letter" - best $42 that I spent in a long time. Chuck Bishop does an incredible service! And one word in the Parker order book stands out: "Yokohama". Yes, it appears that my Parker was shipped to Japan on March 14, 1918 as part of a larger order which included 5 GH's with Damascus barrels, 3 PH guns with Parker Steel barrels, and 2 VH's. Great work Mr. Bishop! I can't thank you enough.

What a wonderful history for your gun, Robert.
