Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

One of the firing pins on my Superpose was driving so I sent it to Art Isaacson to have the gun cleaned. They suggested it would be a great candidate for restoration but I declined. Every mark, the wear, was in the hands of a gentleman who I admire. It may diminish the financial value but it increased the sentimental value.

Taking the honest wear away from a classic gun is erasing the memories and removing it's soul.
There are cases where a restoration is prudent and might even return a classic to it's full potential but to do it to a completely functional firearm just to make it pretty again isn't one of them.
