Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

I pride myself in trying to be as historically accurate in any of the work that I do on these fine guns. And with so much missing on this gun, along with the fact that nearly each and every early Optimus is different, it left an uphill battle at times to try and make sure that we were making the right choices. And IF a decision had to come down to personal aesthetics, we made darn sure that the result was something that could have come out of Uncle Dan's factory in the early 1890s.

Both you and Ken have a lot to be proud of with this beautiful Lefever shotgun.

I handled this beautiful Lefever today at Brian's shop. It is beyond the beyond. Ken and Brian did an outstanding job in every little and I mean every little detail from concept to execution. The craftsmanship is the best I have seen and the design of the checkering and trigger guard ( piece of art in it's own right) is true to form of a high grade Lefever. Great job and a beautiful piece of gun art from two youngsters in our world of gun collecting.
