Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

Bringing out engraving

Just curious, been looking at some of the fine guns in the albums. I love how distinctive the engraving looks in those pictures. I have 2 guns a GH and a DH that have nice engraving but the patina is so dark that you have to hold them in the light to really see the details.

Is there anything that can be done to bring out the engraving or lighten the patina a little. Not a huge deal I like the guns regardless. I have tried bore cleaner pad and reminders oil on the gh but it didn't do much. Thx for your time as always.
