“All” numbers match
A Parker with all numbers matching is one sign of an original gun. Typically that statement is verified with a look at the barrel lug, forend iron, trigger bow and frame. But there are many more locations where the full serial number or the last three or four digits of that number can be found stamped in the metal or wood. The three digits can also be seen written in pencil on the back of a butt plate. Check my album 85805 to see many locations. I did not remove the butt plate or disassemble the forend but will add pics of differently numbered guns showing the numbers on the forend wood lock lever and tumbler and the back of a DHBP. Cheers Jack
