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.

Mark & Bill - I also examined this gun on two separate occasions; once in March and the other at the Allentown Show. The younger assistant at the Allentown Show (not Kris Lee) eagerly kept fishing for responses to his comments like, "incredible shape for a gun that old, huh?" and "they only made a handful of those guns after Parker failed and Remington took over production, which makes it extremely rare, wouldn't you say?" I kept my mouth shut, having carried more than one verbal firefight to ugly conclusions in my younger years about the originality and authenticity of guns for sale. It continues to amaze me how some of the auction houses in-house "experts" still cannot tell if a gun is original or not.
BTW, Jent - what is the story about Jerry and the Underlifters in MD? I never heard it.

To be fair to Morphy's, the auction that Jent mentioned is run by a bunch of bumpkins. The two auctions should not be compared. The gun at Morphy's is a fine gun and should not be criticized on originality. I have examined it and it should not be appraised by those who have not examined it. Potential buyers should look at guns before they buy. I would have bought that one. It is a benchmark gun and those who did not bid missed a great gun. And, Jent, quit hollering at us. Oversized capital letters are considered rude behavior on the internet.
