Generally speaking, any Parker that wasn't an 'off the rack' hardware store gun was a made to order gun or, in other words, a 'bespoke' gun. Parker Bros. made many thousands of guns 'to order', which included stock dimensions of course.

My copies have been read cover to cover. A must have, for any student of the Parker Gun.
Oh, and mine are signed by all of the authors, btw.

Perhaps if Dave was willing to sell copies of the prints for those who desired either to reproduce the tools or the try gun too would satisfy SOME requests.

If anyone gets wind of one of the numerous original beams that have gone astray, please let me know. I've seen them in the past - long past. I look forward to more try gun discussion.

Gents, I have been kicking around the idea of making a few more sets. I have calls for three sets and that is what I may make. There is quite a bit of work making these so I would most likely stop after these three. There are no drawings per say as I just duplicate whats in front of me. This is still in the planning stages so stay tuned.......

Dave, That is great news. Thanks for your support to complete these rare assemblages.
