Certainly interesting and warrants further looking. Probably costly and for a costly gun, it needs to be verifiable. Interesting and raises issues that it is a post early 20's D because of the later style safety slide and it doesn't have ejectors, at least you called it a DH. Kind of wonder if it is an embellished and restocked G or V.
I have on occasion seen 00 frames without serial numbers and with the V engraving buffed off. Always wonder what became of the frame. Very interesting and if correct, could be a great gun. Obviously, a person would need the gun in hand and several hours spent with it. I have seen D engraving variations but have not seen this one. Oops, I see now that it has the old style safety slide, not the new. Guess it is more likely now that it is a correct D with extractors for that period. Wonder what the frame size is? There are a bunch of 0 frame 20's that were rebarreled to 28's but in the early years, the 0 frame is correct. Hmmmm. And then, most correct 28's are late guns and almost all correct 28's are late V grades. Gun in hand. Last edited by Bruce Day; 09-09-2009 at 05:50 PM.. |

If I am not mistaken, this gun was discussed a few months ago, perhaps on the "old" board and I believe the conclusion was that the gun did not start out life as a D. I may be wrong but I am sure I have seen pictures of that gun before.

Jay, you may be correct. The gun would need to be in hand and closely studied before anything rational beyond suspicions can be concluded, unless photos of the frame water table show lesser grade markings. Sometimes the gallery here can make all sorts of wrong statements without ever making a careful study of the gun in hand. If a PGCA member is the seller and the gun was correct, I'd be pretty irritated if it were mine.

If you want to see better pictures to to Merz Antique. He's had it for a while and this gun was talked about on the old board. He wants a pretty penny.

Larry; Sure is a pretty piece, are you considering the purchase of this gun, the 28's are sure nice Parkers ! Our Data base shows that there are surviving records for this Serial #, would be a great place to start !

Unique engraving, for sure. Maybe one of a kind. And what appears to be a nice dogs head butt plate to boot. Hummmmm

Unique checking on the forend also.Is 150,000 kinda late for an O frame gun? Maybe the gun was ordered with a specified weight?Is it just be or does the barrel hook look to be repaired?
Just some thoughts.....
