DH Parker Letter

[Bruce Day]

Thomas, lovely, just lovely. After all the beat up, chopped, abused, used and misused, unloved and folk arted, now we see a fine Parker to be proud of. And damascus to boot.

I like them the standard way Parker made them and Parker did it right. This gun is right.

Congratulations.

PS, I have a little D 20 with a stock that looks like it could have been taken from the same tree.

Thomas,

I made a mistake on your letter. Larry Frey sent me a PM asking if the town was Plainville Ct not Plainsville Ct as I had it in your letter. I went and checked the order book and I guess it's Plainville since Larry never heard of Plainsville. Anyway, I got to looking at the name of the guy ordering the gun and I got to thinking it may not be Raymond.

Each order book has an index at the front where each entity ordering a gun is listed alphabetically. I didn't find the name under the R's. You have to understand the stylistic handwriting used in those days and the fact that they used a broad tipped fountain pen. I looked under the S's and there it was. Also, I found three different style of capitol S's so there were 3 different people entering data. I'm pretty sure the correct name is E.L. Seymour of Plainville, Ct.

I'm sending you a corrected letter. Everything else is accurate,


I'm apologizing right now for my current and future screw up's, I'm sure there will be more in the future.

Chuck
