Sold a P Webley to Mike back in 2012. He still has it. The stock was cracked. Somehow, it got better. GB 844981553.

Yes, and was successful...at least to a degree. Dickering is not my strength.

Mike has many of his guns at the Gun Shop in Olathe, Kansas (essentially, Kansas City). I like to stop in and look them over. You can spend much time with the number of guns he has there (and there's a comfy chair for the wife to sit in while you fondle guns). If you are passing through KC, you should stop in and check them out. He has a wide range of interesting guns.

Here is a copy of the letter not too exciting but Griffin and Howe has historical information so I requested it.

Yes I own both, I have been very fortunate. The gun went back to the factory at some point because it now has the 1905 first style hardened bolt soldered in place as does 83183.

You couldn’t by chance be coaxed into dragging them both to Sanford ?

He has a GH 12 I would like if it were a lot less.

Craig: I would like to show you both guns but the logistics at the Southern make impossible to carry more than one gun. The parking lot is a long way from the Parker/Smith tent.

Yes , two years ago the only time I’ve been there I was carrying two back to the tent and it was a handful . Not to mention I had no idea where “The tent” was , walked thru all the sales tents and asked several dealers where the Parker display was and they didn’t know . Two 10’s in leg o mutton cases got heavy after walking around trying to find the tent for a good bit longer than if I knew where I was going and walked straight to it .
