Default PARKER STORY
Okay forgive my ignorance, I am only a year into the parker bug. I am so impressed with the knowledge some of the members have about this brand and this era of gun. What is the parker story and is it two volumes?

Mat, the Parker Story is a 2 volume set of an amazing amount of Parker info.
It's the magic book of Parker.

The Parker Story is the primary 'bible' to Parker collectors. It is comprised of two volumes and can still be purchased for $295 (blemished sets are $195) from Daniel Cote, editor and publisher of The Double Gun & Single Shot Journal. The leather bound, signed deluxe edition has long since sold out but the standard edition is what you will receive.

Call 231-536-7439 to order. Daniel or Johanna Cote will probably answer the phone. They are some of the most pleasant people to talk with.

Buy the blemished set. It is a scam directed toward people that Dan Cote likes, like us. He likes everyone who reads the Double Gun Journal and reads his ads. The blems are not usually blemished. How dare he sell $300 books for $195. I kind of like his version of retail. Some posters don't like the "scam" word, but it was all tongue in cheek. Sorry I misled them.

How about "incentive" or "preferential treatment" or 'last ditch effort to liquidate a valuable set of books he might have hoped would have sold out by now'. I just don't believe Daniel is in the business of 'scamming' anyone.

It was a tongue in cheek way to say that Daniel is giving a $100 discount on a product that is worth a bunch more than he is charging for it. I have recommended the "blemished" set to many who have inquired. Gosh, guys, you know me better than that.
