This is true. Research letters really enhance this as well. I recently acquired a Parker apparently owned by semi famous Colorado gunmaker way back when - Carlos Gove.

Only too well do I know of such Parkers.
As an examply, I am current custodian of a neat little 16 gauge 0-frame lifter, once owned by the indomitable Edgar Spencer and it brings me pride of ownership... and a bunch of grouse and woodcock too. .

Dean reminded me of PGCA provenance. I have guns owned by Bill Mullins and Austin Hogan that are treasured

I can say a Dispagno gun brings a lot of provenance.

My Austin Hogan P Grade hammer gun speaks to me.

![]() Austin was a wonderful man. He came down to the Baltimore show years ago and told me that he was bringing something down for me. I met him in the parking lot and he handed me a well worn but untouched hammer 0 grade. He said, take it, its yours. He knew how found I was of hammer guns. What a generous gesture. I restored the gun completely and shoot it from time to time. This is one of my core of guns that I’ll never sell. Every time I shoot it I think of Austin. |
