Edgar: I don't suppose we could get a 25% discount at the car dealership today. Edgar do know if a person could trace a gun case to a certain ser. no. Parker or were they just made and no way of associating the two. Thanks Thomas

Thomas, lovely, just lovely. After all the beat up, chopped, abused, used and misused, unloved and folk arted, now we see a fine Parker to be proud of. And damascus to boot.
I like them the standard way Parker made them and Parker did it right. This gun is right. Congratulations. PS, I have a little D 20 with a stock that looks like it could have been taken from the same tree. |

I screwed up
Thomas,
I made a mistake on your letter. Larry Frey sent me a PM asking if the town was Plainville Ct not Plainsville Ct as I had it in your letter. I went and checked the order book and I guess it's Plainville since Larry never heard of Plainsville. Anyway, I got to looking at the name of the guy ordering the gun and I got to thinking it may not be Raymond. Each order book has an index at the front where each entity ordering a gun is listed alphabetically. I didn't find the name under the R's. You have to understand the stylistic handwriting used in those days and the fact that they used a broad tipped fountain pen. I looked under the S's and there it was. Also, I found three different style of capitol S's so there were 3 different people entering data. I'm pretty sure the correct name is E.L. Seymour of Plainville, Ct. I'm sending you a corrected letter. Everything else is accurate, I'm apologizing right now for my current and future screw up's, I'm sure there will be more in the future. Chuck |
