Also, to dovetail to what Destry is writing, FDR was not known as a hunter to my knowledge. There would be no reason for him to just up and give a guy a Parker out of the blue (apparently). I get that the recipient was the administrator of the facility, but what other reason would a non-hunting President have to give a him a shotgun? It is out of character for FDR to do this. It would be the modern day equivalent to Obama giving the administrator of Walter Reed a Colt SAA. The story adds no value whatsoever to the gun if it cant be proven by strong documentation.
