My - What a fabulous Parker that is!!

Look at those prices will ya!!

That is a very valuable Parker. I hope that gun stays with you for a long, long time and that it is enjoyed to the fullest each time it is brought out. Congratulations!

I am anticipating an article on that one with "the rest of the story" and a bunch of nice pictures. I'll be happy to work with you on an article if you wish.

Best, Dean

I plan to write this one, as soon as I get a little time. I'm starting a new job tomorrow, so I will be a little distracted for a while.

Thank you Todd. The wait will nearly kill us, but we'll be patient.

Todd, I second that! Thank you so much for taking the time to post the pics. That price list is a real kick in the gut. As you know, that's a special gun, thanks so much for sharing.

Ok guys, our contributors so far have set the bar pretty high. Let's see some more cases (prefferably with guns in them)!

That is one great piece of paper. I had no idea that the Golcher shop was still in business in 1941. Thanks.

The key word being 'one'. Today, it would be a 4473 two letters of reference from the local constabulary, reams of documents from HHS attesting to the mental stability of the buyer, and copies of birth certificates, IRS returns, etc etc.

what struck me was the $25 express charge -- which I take to be shipping

that was a lot of pocket change back then-

you can still ship a gun for $25 - of course, now, it will get lost or broken - but the cost is similar
