Brad Bachelder

Post by SmithShady »

Perusing the Fox page on Facebook today, I saw an obit for Brad Bachelder, who evidently passed on the 21st of this month. Lots of discussion on the Parker Forum about Brad, and having photographed Gary Carmichael's Parker Hammer gun collection a few years ago, I've been exposed to a lot of his work up close. Very sad to hear this, as Brad was a true craftsman and will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Very sad. We've lost a good man and a great talent.
