[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 228988"] It's simple enough, Jers. Some time ago, LL (George Dibos) published a detailed set of Dunhill specs. Where, I don't recall -- it could have been here. Or it might have been, but lost in a server switch-over. Be that as it may, the specs are "out there" in the collector community. When he posted the Billiard specs, I checked them against my old Parker : it was way out of bounds. The same with an equally old one I got more recently. The point is : Parker was not turning their billiard stummels to Dunhill proportion specs. One more time : There is no way that those two Parkers -- either as stummels or as finished pipes -- would have been passed along to Dunhill for consideration. (And both of them are straightgrains; the first one, an "A" flawless). Parker made Parkers. End of story. The business of Dunhill supposedly picking through the Parker production for "Dunhill" candidates joins the "Dead Root" lie and the "Very heart of the bole" lie that AD was responsible for misleading people into believing. Nice is nice, but facts are facts, and fact trumps nice. :face: [/QUOTE]
