What a nice old Parker...so much character. As an aside, I've been rereading my DGJ volumes again. One thing I've noticed is so many of the articles on discoveries, rescues and restorations are, for the most part, on high end guns. I think it's sad that the vast majority of remaining doubles are not the rarest or the most lavish. I only wish they had featured more articles on rescues and restorations on the lower grades. My old 12 ga. stub twist means as much to me as any of my other guns. To me the gun must have a wealth of history behind it and I wish I knew its full story.
