dave: have seen quite a few 0 and 1 grade lifters over the years. have never seen another one with that course checkering? never the less that gun is in wonderful condition.
the trouble with top feeding is that when you least expect it, a predator comes up from the bottom and takes a chunk out of you or worse... |

The checkering is "coarse" and looks original to me. Coarse checkering is proper for PT guns of the era. I will try to measure the lines per inch of a similar gun when I get time.

Ed, don't forget that pictures are not always correct looking. Dave

Ed, use some of the profit from your internet sales to purchase a set of The Parker Story.

I agree with the seller's description of the gun and Bill's qualification of the checkering. Keep in mind that a good number of Parkers of that era had no checkering at all.

My PT lifter #18,921 has 8 lines to the inch checkering. Yup, eight lines to the inch. The gun is high condition and I have no doubt the checkering is original.
