I suppose it's better than him getting back into the Bar, or Limousine business. Although, he did just buy a new Rolls.

Dean, Tonys earned every dime he has made I was just hopeful the good news would stay on my side of the ledger. Edgar, I suspect the new Rolls is for sundays best, a Mercedes is the daily-driver, and a slightly used Mercedes serves as the winter salt-shaker.

![]() No argument from me on that point Craig. For a man who started working on guns and trading them from his Dad's garage, I'd say he's done pretty darn well. My point was that his changing his production and business model over from classic sporting arms to modern high-capacity and high fire rate arms will prove good for Tony and his employees.... but not so good for those of us who have come to search out his wares on the Internet as well as major SXS venues. .

From the descriptions of Tony provided by those of you who know him best, sounds like he and Ansley Fox would have gotten along famously.

I don't agree Buddy. Every venture I have seen Tony take has turned to gold on the other hand Ansleys had to be liquidated to the best of my knowledge. Just a thought- great entrepreneurs have the ability to recognize market change and/or a consumer need long before there competitors.

In looking at TPS last night I only see one set of grade 4 20 gage Titanic 30" barrels listed so I assume the other set you referenced is of another type of steel or composite. Interestingly there is also only one set of 29" Titanic barrels listed and they were on Mr. DePauw's earlier CH 20 90585. That gun was also ordered without a dolls head and with straight grip. With the requested changes to 91964 and new matching 30" barrels for both guns this fellow had a pretty nice matched pair of long barreled small bore Parkers. |

I also wonder if 91584 (and maybe 91585) were similarly engraved? I have to say, irrespective of your gun's present condition, it may be the most unusual and exciting Parker I have seen in quite some time. I'm just hoping Deb will show it to us next week. I think it's ironic that with a 13 5/8" LOP, you may never get it away from her, because you won't be able to shoot it anyway. |
