Dave,
Unfortunately the blank stares were most likely because they spoke little or no English.

For your viewing pleasure. These pictures Dean and I found in John's gun room.They were taken about 5 years before the fire that all but destroyed the factory buildings.

Great Pictures guys ,Thanks for letting the rest of us in on your trip !! Looks like a great day !!

Dean,

Thanks for the great pictures. It was as if I were there with you and Dave. I am querious about the three barrels hanging on the wall. I am guessing the dolls head is in a slot and would love to know how else they are supported. Until I found they are part of a four barreled set I thought that is how Parker intended to keep stocks from becoming oil soaked.

Thanks again, Harry

Harry,The doll head's are in the wood recess and the tops of the barrels are supported in a wood bracket.They are very secure.

So, Dave and Dean, is the old office still on the market? Did you sign the contract? I love the rack and am going to put one together myself. Those four barrel sets are hard to find cases for. Great work guys.
