In fact, there is one engraver who's work I wouldn't have in my collection... remember, we're talking DH here. On Grade 5 and higher Parkers his work is exemplary. Nevertheless, I am drawn to the engraving more than some other aspects of a Parker and this can be broken down into year-periods. So, the snob in me dictates that I will not own a DH or DHE from the late teens to about 1931..... sorry If I have offended anyone. .

Dean you should refer to yourself as a "sophisticated buyer" vs the "snob". Sounds so much more professional don't you think ? Means basically the same thing though in some instances
