Provenance- What do you have in your safe?

[Fishtail]

I have a BH 12 ordered new by HD Kirkover Jr that I've blabbed about on other threads. He was a big wheel in the Buffalo NY area around the turn of the century (the 1800's - 1900's turn) and a renowned trapshooter of the time.

Just discovered this thread.[played with honeybees and architects all yesterday at the Cape]
This is good stuff boys.
This is why I write articles for PP. Provenance is both priceless and pricey, it depends how you feel about history.
To some, a Parker is just metal and wood.
To me it is nothing without the people who bothered to make it perfect, ordered it, sold it and used it. I wish we could know everything about that chain of title.
I have trouble selling guns that I know a lot about- they become like members of my family.
