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.

The reason I ask about the engravers is the original purchaser of the gun (Harry Nye) while living in Chicago when he purchased the gun began his working career at C Rogers & Brother located on Butler St in Meriden Connecticut. The Parker plant was 26 Cherry St. in Meriden. If you look at a map the streets are almost right next to each other. The link between C. Rogers & Brother silver platers and Parker Brothers guns is the silver-plating work for C. Rogers & Brother was initially manufactured by Charles Parker. The two companies are not related but a young man Harry Nye who was a hunter could have easily made friends with people in a gun company located 100 yards away from his companies’ headquarters. So, it is possible that 20 years after he left C Rogers and built his own company, Nye Tool and Die he wanted to buy the best and better than that he knew the guys who made it. And personally knew Anschutz. Just putting 2 and 2 together. It is a story, but a believable one.
