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.

I went and Visited with Brian and his family this afternoon. As Dean Hanson said in the first comment after Brian's pictures, it is truly a "Diamond in the rough"!
The bores are beautiful and the exterrior of the barrels can be lightly carded and polished and reblued. There are two tiny dents in one of the tubes which can easily be lifted.
The engraving needs NOTHING at all. There are no cracks in the wood and all that the wood needs is a strip and refinish with TimberLuxe and to have the checkering expertrly recut and the nasty old pad replaced with a nice period-correct pad.
It has the 'trap comb' and double ivory beads on 32" Acme Steel barrels which lead me to believe this gun was originally ordered by a dedicated trap shooter.
I think Mr Morrison has a firm grasp on where to send it for the work it needs.
My advice was to not re-case-color the frame... it would be harder to see the beautiful crisp engraving.
I hope Mr Morrison keeps us in the loop regarding what he'll be doing for his heirloom Parker.
