I wouldn't have made the Parker if I had known that they were available however rare. All the other guns I made didn't go into production. Even then, circa 1980 they were expensive. When a well known collector heard about my Parker he asked me to restore one he had. I did it as a favour but he insisted on paying me with a Hakim air rifle.
