Don't leave home without your checkbook. Parkers are where you find them.

A pocketful of Benjamins are probably better in this day an age rather then a personal check .

The learning curve in buying collectable Parkers is steep and expensive. I was lucky and was befriended by a long time collector and received some great advise from an honest dealer. It is really easy to make a very expensive mistake that can cost you half of the price paid for a gun.
If you just want an interesting investment there are several available without the hazards of Parkers. I love the guns, owning and shooting, and am happy to just get my initial investment back when I sell. Good Luck
David
