In His Own Hand....

Jack,

That is just neat... My Dad has never been into firearms - but fortunately - my great-granddad and grandfather both were... No notes for me - but I'm fortunate to have many of their firearms - all of which I shot when I was a young lad...

Thanks for sharing, Jack!

Well buddy, you got plenty. Multi-generational Parkers including great grand dads AAHE that comes with a wonderful story of loss and reunion. Beyond that you have earned respect for what you do here and far beyond.

All that's not nuttin', its plenty.

You even have broad enough shoulders to withstand an occasional cyber-poke.

BTW: If not already done, maybe take some time out of a busy life to write up some history for the family guns for posterity. I'm glad I convinced Dad to do that.

Cheers
Jack
