Here is some advice, from one of a number of highly esteemed and ever-helpful PGCA members, that I gleaned from this Forum some years ago.
"The best course for a person interested in Parkers is to get at least the Muderlak Parker Old Reliable book and study that as a starter, find a mentor who knows, have an idea what you want , then move quickly should the right gun surface.
Be quiet about it, there are people who lurk here, the usual numbers are maybe 30 members and 120 non forum member lurkers/lookers, and some of those will buy a gun out from under a person who brings attention to it."
