Invincibles

I believe Tony owned, or had control of, all three when he created the poster. However, I may have assumed wrong.

I don't know if it's permissible to have copies of these articles sent to me for the archives. They wouldn't be published just kept for the records. If it's OK, can you guys that have these articles, copy them and send them to me?

I do not recall exactly, but Sheldon Gitman of Pottsville, PA had something to do with the Invincibles. I also recall that he may have owned at least two of them . My friend Rich Frutchy photographed them ,I do not recall the reason

Shelly Gitman owned both Invincibles for quite a few years prior to the Lyman gun coming onto the market after being repaired/restored in 2000. in late October of 1995, Shelly asked me to accompany him to Del Grego's to take 31 guns from his collection, including the two Invincibles, to have the guns photographed for The Parker Story. Del Grego closed his shop for three days while we took those photos.

Rich Frutchy was a former White House photographer (I believe under President Ford) and acted as the official photographer for the Del Grego sessions. Once our sessions were completed, other exemplary Parkers were photographed by various individuals in different locations. All of these efforts came together in final form with the publication of The Parker Story.

My good friend Shelly Gitman died in May of 2013.
