[Robert Delk]

Never thought of it that way.I was friends with Jim Austin in the 70's and he had some great stories about Parkers and Parker dealers too.I suppose the chance to make some serious money will always bring out the worst in some people.Lots of good guns turned into not so good guns back in those days. Like to think that is not the case so much today.

I still have the gun list from the "Georgia Investment Company" that Robert Delk alludes to. Oddly, it includes serial numbers for all the guns they offered, including the A1 Special .410. They had no idea that by 1997, the records would be opened. Bruce is very generous in his praise, but strangely leaves out the PGCA and the 1997 and 1998 PGCA Research Project. Robert, Jim Austin had a story a minute. Sharing a goose pit with him for entire days still didn't dry him out. He is an entertaining person, a lot of fun to be with.
