Small point, but I don't think any Parkers in 1918 sold for more than $1000. In fact I don't think any sold for more than $1000 ever...?

Thanks for the reference Dean. I love articles with pictures of the old owners of the firearms. It brings the guns to life. If only they could talk........

The Invincible topped 1000 didn't it? Granted that was a decade later.

Quote:
Anonymous handwritten memos in pencil ca. 1937 and 1940 suggest retail prices of $1300 and $1400 respectively. The note on the $1400 price also says "less 25% for jobber." These prices are not in any catalog and these handwritten memos may be the only known prices for a Parker Invincible. .
