Provenance is the main reason I order letters. Often, you get an actual owner when there is a record of a gun being returned to the factory for repair.

For me, my guns are elevated to being less mundane when I order a letter on, say a VH, and find out what were original features and from what retailer it was vended.

I have a total of six Parkers, and all have letters except for the Trojan (for which letters are unavailable).

I also ordered a letter on a gun I do not own and was not for sale, out of curiosity and for research.

It is well-worth being reminded of the time and energy expended by PGCA volunteers to make this information available to us. It is a story in itself, and as this thread indicates, a continuing one.
