The DuBray gun certainly has the potential to fetch a handsome sum, Like Dean says I do not know of any other High grade Parker with the associated provenance as of this date. This gun will be watched by many, some bidders and others just wondering what it will go for. Morphys has done a good job marketing the piece as should be. Gary

To be clear, Morphy’s had nothing to do with the Parker Pages article other than to very kindly provide pictures when asked.

Hardly anyone would give the Dubray name the time of day except for the efforts of Ed M.

There are some who may argue that point Bill, but I'm not one of them. In fact, I alluded to your point in the PP article.

Back in the early 80-s in the bar districk when I was out for a TIME.....I found three young college gals. I stayed out front of things, It did not take me long to choose my target. The choices were all good. A 5-5 dark haired country girl cut as a button with a big smile and little dimpled cheeks. A skinny red head with fire in here eyes and a rack that was hard to miss! And finally the one I liked....she was fine, curvy little blonde. I could tell she was smart and kept her head above the crowd. As I watched and planed I saw her blow off several young dudes like a james bond girl would! Here is my chance...her two friends were off mingling so I sat down next to her....she had this lovely English accent, stunning blue eyes, long legs and a low cut short red dress, not cheep in anyway. Time stopped for a moment as we talked. Her friends returned we all chatted and had a few. It was a good time. I left with that cute little country girl...(-: A fella has to know his limitations!!! But I always wonder about that curvy little blond from England. SXS Ohio

You will eventually require dimensions as well don't you think Bill ?

I wonder how many of the “best” gun manufacturers in England have a few hi tech CNC milling machines hidden in a back room in their shops. I would be willing to bet, ALL.
