Recent research shows that the Czar's Parker was consigned (by Parker at a $500.00 price) to a famous gun emporium between the time it was returned to Parker Brothers, by Orren Dickey as I recall, and ultimately sold to its long time owner. Existing Parker correspondence would suggest that the gun was finally sold by Parker Brothers, but it is also possible that the consignee brokered the deal for Parker Brothers. The "recent research" is now in the hands of PGCA, so, if the new owner requests a PGCA letter of provenance, he should be appraised of this new research.
