Old photo on ebay

Beard, Pipe, Parker, yup, that's me.

Heck of a picture, heck of a price.

Murphy is right, heck of a price... It's a shame someone ruined the old photo by trying to ink in some pupils and enhance the man's eyes... Now he looks like a hungry nocturnal tree Bat about to swoop in on a pond Frog!...

That's like a guy finding a nice original Parker with very little use, and for whatever reason he decides to steel wool the strange blue colors off the sides and bottom so it will look older... Soon afterwards when he learns more about old double guns and the appeal of original condition, he is suddenly paralyzed in a brief moment of shock realizing he destroyed his own case colors and significantly diminished the value of his gun... OUCH!!! ... Sometimes it's best to leave "original" alone...

Best, Chris ~ CSL
