Hey, hey hey. Watch it! I'll have you know that one of my prized possessions was a hand painted Elvis on black velvet painted in the shrine of fine art Juarez, Mexico. My oldest son is a higher official in D.C. now and he has the painting in his home office.

So I hope your comment about the Mona Lisa was meant with all possible esteem.

P.S. I'm not trying to buy any more guns. I'm into high end art now, and hand painted black velvet is getting rare.

Thank you! I have a few more, but didn't want to overload the site with non Parker related photos. Some with old cars and trucks and the house my Great Grandpa built on the farm. Pretty interesting.......

Dee,

I must say a C grade Parker is something to brag about. There is a gunsmith in Kerrville, Texas named Kirk Merrington. I have not had work done by him, but a friend of mine has. What I've seen is very impressive. On the PGCA home page you will find him on our "Links". Brad Bachelder has done work for me. What he did was excelent, priced fairly and the turn around was prompt. I am sorry for your loss and wish you all the best in life. Please keep us in mind if and when you do anything with this treasured old Parker.

Kindest, Harry
