I'm sure Daryl will agree with me when I tell you that your chances of finding those barrels are less than zero. Bill Eckmeyer bought junk guns, laid all the parts out on a table, and put them back together the best he could. He was truly a character who never saw a Parker he didn't like. It is our late member Terry Boose whose Dad was quite well acquainted with Bill Eckmeyer. Bill was an International Harvester heavy equipment dealer who had plenty of time and money to fool with Parkers. He hung out at Daryl's club and my club. When I came out of the Army in 1969, Bill was the first to offer me a job in his company. Terry and I had some wonderful times remembering Bill Eckmeyer and his antics from our childhoods. Guns once put together by Bill are still coming out of the woodwork decades after his death.
