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.

Interesting coincidental(?) PGCA Research Letter Provenance.
Looking at a For Sale ad today on the forum here I noticed something that made me say to myself “Hmmmm…, could it be?”
Something here looked kind of familiar so I looked up a letter on the first Parker I ever bought, back in 2002 or so.
Let’s compare notes:
The first is my 1899 12 gauge DH ordered by GR Humswell of So. Danville, ME.
Next is from the research letter on the gun posted for sale and ordered by a GR Hummewell of Auburn, ME (formerly Danville, ME) see the AI research I did on South Danville in 1899.
It is my opinion these are typographical errors either by reading the sometimes cryptic information in the Parker Bros. books or by the gentleman creating the research letter from available data, and that these two who ordered two different Parkers nine years apart are one and the same gentleman.
Pretty interesting stuff I think.
