John, are the two pages in the original attachment? If not, can you post a picture of the second page? I spent a lot of time yesterday looking for that list in my files and couldn't find it. Thanks. I would also like to see a good picture of the trophy.

Bruce, I share your same interest and passion for military history especially WW2 Pacific theatre but not exclusively. I've swam off the invasion beaches of Saipan and toured the island. Pillboxes, Japanese tanks and artillery pieces still litter the invasion beaches. But the most moving experience I had in the Pacific was visiting the American Cemetery of the Pacific just outside Manila. If that hallowed ground does not move one to tears, they're not human. Not my intent to hijack this thread, just wanted to respond to something Brice said earlier in this thread that moved me

Welcome to the Parker Gun Collectors Association John!

Your joining should prove to be mutually beneficial.

Welcome to our Parker family! I look forward to learn about your great-grandfather and your Parker experiences.

Go to www.parkerguns.org and click on the faq link on the left side. At the bottom of the FAQ page are two links that may help with posting pictures.

I expected to see Dr. Truitt's name in the customer column of the second list.
