The idea that the PGCA is the final authority and steward of Parker records leaves a lot to be desired. It's a good start, but certainly if there is more to be had than no one collector, or group of collectors, should have more access to it than others. In fact, I would question the integrity of anyone claiming to care about the Parker gun if they are sitting on information.
Though I have no quarrel with the PGCA /research letter process, I do tend to wonder why there are some, such as 8 bore, who seem to have greater access to records (and they like to flaunt it in their oh-so-subtle manner). It's a sort of oneupsmanship I find distasteful.
