Probably went back to Parker for the BTFE as it has the correct iron for the BTFE reinforcing screw.

You'll have to help me. BTFE ? ? ? ?
Also, can anyone recommend a stock artist anywhere near me? Would a PGCA research give me anymore information on the alterations?? |

BTFE is Beavertail Forend.
A research letter may provide more information on your gun. On the lower grades, probably not, but in the higher grades like yours it is more likely that there is some interesting provenance linked to your gun. Others can respond to a stock man in your area. |

Wayne, An interesting Parker... Can you post some photos of the vent rib, and also the area where the barrels/dolls head meet with the top of the receiver?
Best, CSL ________________________ |

I think I would just have the wood striped and refinished to remove the crazing and leave it alone.What a wonderful gun...

You guys are way over my head with terminology. Can you please describe what "the barrels/dolls head" means? I'm really not at your knowledge level with the terms.
Anyway, here are the only pictures I have presently of the rib. Let me know if, by sheer luck, I captured the right area. If not, and with a little guidance, I can take more. |

Please try to take a pic of the top of the rib showing any and all inscriptions. This appears to be a Simmons made rib at first glance. Thanks, Jim
