Dick,
Thought you were just looking for a good gunsmith to check out your new Parker, so I recommended the only gunsmith I know with solid Parker experience.
It goes without saying, that a visit to the Parker Gun Collectors Association web site (as recommended by the "experts" here) is always a good idea. Post your question and you'll probably get replies from people like Mark Conrad (Research Committee Chairman) who does the Parker letters...he's located near you on the east coast, and from Dean Romig in MA and Bruce Day in MO and others too. I've found PGCA members over the years to be most civil and generous and always happy to be of help to every new Parker owner.
Naturally, I suggest you join the PGCA while you're there, but you can elect to just register for participation on the BBS until you get your "feet wet" if you wish. Just remember to use your Real Name and not initials or a slick "User Handle" on that site if you want to be able to log on a second time...it's mandatory.
Just to keep the record straight... I am a dues paying member of the PGCA (albeit pretty new)...I know a little about Parkers having a 1916 DHE of my own...never the less, I did NOT stay at a Holiday Inn last night...so take my comments for whatever you think they are worth.
Best of luck with your new Parker!
