Also, 176575 is listed as having a P.G in the Order Book. Only the Stock Book would tell if it's a CPG and the stock book is missing.

Jim, if you misplaced the original research letter and want a replacement, just send me a PM and I'll get one out to you.

My new address is;

Hey Jim, I bought one of those 382 Parkers you sold. It was a 10 gauge D grade hammer gun with a dogs head butt plate. Beautiful wood too.

[Double Lab]

Me too. I still have the DHE 20, flat rib I bought from you and Jerry at Sandanonna many moons ago.

[Jim Thynne]

I miss the people more than anything else.
Jerry has had a lot of health issues, and we are certain that he will be healed enough to make this hunting season.
Jerry and I do reminisce the good old days, and the many friends we made along the way.
Thanks to you Fellas and Gals it worked, and the 10 years we had were wonderful. .....................................Jim

Jim, I reprinted your letter as originally written. I'm sure Mark Conrad would sign it if you send it to him.

Regards..Chuck

[Jim Thynne]

Thanks Chuck, I appreciate the letter, and will do my best to keep it this time. This is a very special gun, primarily because my best friend went out of his way to obtain it for me!

Hi Jim, hope all is well. I still have all the Parkers you sold me. They are going to my Special Snowflake. I contacted Geoffrey, the tab to re-engrave the C is about $2500 with out any surprises. It's in the list of stuff to do. The Pretty Wife and I will be going to Vegas next year, we hope to see you again. For sure do dinner one night.

Michael,
We are looking forward to seeing you. The C is going to be beautiful. Geoffrey has the talent to make it absolutly correct again, I have seen his work and it is outstanding.....Jim
