Default Work Order Tag/ Pleasant Surprise

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a work order tag in the mail yesterday for gun I own. The tag was gratiously provided unsolicited when the gentleman was informed that I was the current owner of the gun. What a cool piece of history. As I held it I tried to imagine myself in the Parker factory standing along side the craftsmen as they expertly ply their trade. Very cool. I continue to be humbled and amazed at the quality and character of The Parker Community.
