Thank you John, where and when is that?? The Southern? Because I'll be there.

Sorry Andy, that was a few years ago. But Louis Parker will have a fantastic display at this year's HOF and you must attend. It will be held during the Southern in Sanford NC.

Thank you John. I’m bringing a friend who is not a Parker member. Can he attend? I could get him to join to see that. ��

Everyone is welcomed. Just have to pay the ticket price. Of course, a new member is even better. No better place to join the PGCA than the Southern.

A new gun can be fired a number of times without there being brass transfer on the breech face.

I had the gun for sale on Thursday and Friday. It was a very clean and fine high original condition gun. It wasn't as new or unfired, in my opinion. I would describe it as very nice with some wear to the original damascus pattern, about 60% original case color, and most of the original wood finish. I sold it to a long time friend who I know will use and cherish it for his shooting needs.

I saw the gun for just a minute, and thought it was better, My bad!! But a graded hammer gun in this condition is a certain jewel.

When is the Hall of Fame dinner and what day? I have to hit that for sure. My buddy said he needs to attend to see what it's all about. I'll get him to join the PGCA. I owe him a favor so I may "gift" him a membership.
