Default Hey all
Just came into possession of this old beauty.
S/N 56592 D
Has two sets of barrels. The original Damascus, 30" with visible pattern and a 28" set of Spec Steel. Serials match.
Case in the protected areas, but pretty much gone everywhere else.

Congratulations Mark. 56296 was the first hammerless Parker made and the early hammerless engraving motifs were very interesting. May we please see some pictures of yours?

I was wondering about that- my DH 55801 was an early one as well

Oh yeah - love that early hammerless engraving and the setter on the floor plate ties it all in. Thanks.


Oh, by the way - YAY PATRIOTS!!
