I can say that the amount and quality of the research I received from Mr Beach on my Super Fox was greatfully appreciated

Thank you Mr. Beach. My Parker was an earlier A&F gun, therefore it will not be in the records.

And we thank you Mr. Beach, for your kind generosity in providing tha G&H records both for our website as well as for the winter issue of Parker Pages.

The omission of 1330 numbers at the end of the Used gun list has been corrected in the spring Issue.

Again, Thank You.
Dean

The picture above of the store pretty much looked the same to me when I last visited A&F while attending Rutgers in the Fall of 1965. LOL

By 1965, Abercrombie and Fitch had relocated to 45th Street and Madison Avenue, but there is the possibility that some of the furniture was the same. My last visit to A&F was for the liquidation auction, 1977. No guns on the premises for that final auction, but if you wanted old wood furniture or sewing machines, you were in the right place. I parked on a sidewalk on Times Square in front of the parking attendant's kiosk and my old Suburban was in the same place when I returned hours later. It's amazing how New Yorkers adapt to country boys when necessary.
