That's really not so much as a repair as an abomination

That does win the coveted and seldom awarded "idiot of the decade" prize.
Many years ago, when I lived in south central PA, there was a story going around the gun lovers informal channels that the Baltimore city cops had recovered an A grade Parker from an armed robber, It had been stolen many years prior and the barrels had been cut down to 18 inches and the stock hacked off behind the wrist. True or false, I dunno. That idiocy earned my first "idiot of the decade" prize. |

Early 20th century grip swell. My matched pair of H&H Royals have them. Maybe the guy had Lurch size hands.

Looks like someone with OWH potential did it.

I've heard that A grade story too except it was a Holland & Holland.

I would love to see the asking price of that gun.
Must be whoever did that was too cheap to buy a bumper buster from CSMC.

I actually have seen a B grade cut down and in an evidence locker in an Iowa town.
