Bill: The gun has a safety (old-style). I will attach a photo.

I am suggesting that the owner at least get a Research Letter to enhance his appreciation of the gun and consider joining the PGCA for the manifold benefits and advantages that accrue to taking that step.

He had gone to more modern and steel shot-suitable guns for hunting over the years, but learned on the Parker, and shot it with considerable success at the range. One of those “ranges” included The [Brookline] Country Club, the oldest such club in the U. S. (Tom Brady and family were recently admitted, apparently after much deliberation, he being so “high-profile” for such a privacy-minded club.)

Given the responses from Members on this thread, I hope he decides on restoration to maintain the gun's functionality as outlined above, and keeping it.
