I realized about eight years ago that I have a gun that matches a WOT by serial number.
It is a DHE 20ga. I haven't ever ordered the WOT because I always have some reason to believe that the $200 needs to be used elsewhere and I assume the tag will always be there until I decide to order it. I bet I'm not the only one that feels that way. Heck, I could order letters on five of my other Parkers for that amount. And why should someone with a DH 12 have to pay the same for a WOT as someone else with a AAE or an A1 Special if there were WOT's available for them? I feel the jump in price should have started with the C grade since it was considered the first of the high grade guns and the price should scale upward by grade from there. Sorry for going on a mini rant. |

That's the positive attitude I always expect from PGCA higher ups. Isn't there something in our "charter" about promoting the study and history of our Parkers? OH CRAP, I've asked that question before. Cancel that. I've already seen the tag. I thought some of our readers would enjoy it.

I know the WOTs are quite rare and available for only about 1/2 of 1% of the Parkers made. I’ll break down one of these days and order it. I looked again at the WOT info and see now that the B and higher grades do have a higher cost on the tags. I didn’t remember that from 8 years ago. |

I'm just glad they don't have a sliding price scale for PGCA letters. I would like to know the reasoning behind charging on the sliding scale for one and not the other. There is much more work for Chuck to research and write a letter than there is for putting a work tag in an envelope. By the way, Chuck, I am very grateful to have you as our historian.
