A 200.00 or grade 5 gun

[Kevin McCormack]

Yes, I once owned this gun. As Bill suggests, save yourselves a lot of wind and smoke and read my article (DGJ Vol. 13, Issue 2, Summer 2003). The gun is a Grade 5 ($225 Grade equivalent) and was priced accordingly, discounted for the dealer Thomas Carter, likely used as a display gun, then apparently returned for credit and per the PGCA letter ultimately sold to Nelson Soule. And yes, I'm SURE about the pricing, discount and credit, because I personally looked through nearly the entire Order Book for the entry (remember, the Stock Book was missing) before I found it. (Thanks, Dennis!)

[C.O.B.]

The later guns seem to have much more engraving on them compared to the early guns on a grade to grade comparison. I wonder why Parker would have increased the amount of engraving?
