To quote Thomas Haynes Bayly-“absence makes the heart grow fonder”

And what we learn here is Never sell anything! Ha

Love the woodcock and starburst engraving. Unique

The fact that it is a Grade-0 I never ordered a letter but I believe I will now.
There will probably be zero to very little info but what the heck - it’s only forty bucks.

I think the engravers sometimes sneak in a little gift like the engraving on Dean's lifter. On my AAH Pigeon gun, stated in the order "no engraving", the sides of the safety button are expertly engraved with fine scroll. I owned the gun for weeks before I noticed this little "gift" from the engraver to the customer.

That’s right Edgar, it was yours a couple of years before it was mine.

I find a certification letter comforting even if it revels only that a 150 year old Parker is still in the same configuration as she was when she left the factory. Sometimes the letter reveals a tortured past, but someone cared enough to send her back to the maker to get her right. Reminds me of God and His people.
