Nice Ed, very nice. Good for you. Shoot it in good health and then pass it on to Edward. Merry Christmas to you and your "new" Parker.

Ed, excellent choice of a present for yourself. After reading the letter, however, I am a little confused. Does the gun have a pad or the skeleton butt plate? Without seeing the gun, I would know that all the work done was first rate.

Bill- It has a DelGrego pad. The letter is a bit ambiguous. I understood it to mean a new stock was fit and the old skeleton butt was refurbished. I have not had the courage to take the trigger guard off to see how the wood is marked.

The old story is that they burned all the original stocks they took off for firewood. Pretty funny if it's true, talk about literally burning money......

That story is not true. On a visit to their shop many years ago, Babe told me that he had given a number of "take off" stocks to an acquaintance. He later found out that the fellow was selling them for pretty good money and Babe was unhappy about it. He had a number of stocks and forends in his shop and when I told him I needed a stock for a 1 frame, he told me to look through the pile and see what I could find. I found one and he gave it to me. At the time he had quite a few original roughed out forend pieces also, but said he could not use them as the were too dry. I was surprised. Babe is gone now but Lawrence junior junior is doing one hell of a job.
