I'm really glad the Gitman SC went to such a great home. I'm also humbled to have my name associated with it.

No criticism of my friend Tom Flanigan, but Shelly Gitman and Larry Del Grego Senior cooperated on dozens of guns that are not meant to be anything other than what they are, redone and refinished Parkers, worked on by original Parker employees. In my opinion, it is a waste of time and money to recolor them in a more original style, oil finish the wood, and trash the Del Grego Pachmayr pads to replace them with Silver pads. They are what they are and to change them is to make them Reproduction Del Grego Parkers. Some day, a Del Grego Parker will be sought after, like some are now.
You will never make them original Meriden Parkers, no matter how hard you try.

And you get first billing!

First billing for sure. I am very grateful for that gun.

Shelly Gitman owned a couple of Parkers with no Del Grego refinish work or white line pads. They were called "Invincibles".
