Thomas,
welcome to the group, an interesting set of Parkers, obviously your Dad had a flare and knew what he liked. All of the guns have been altered, but that doesn't make them junk. I would suggest an in-hand inspection by a competent gun smith is in order, but Simmons was a well regarded gunsmith concern and I would expect the work to be sound. I am a bit east in Pa., in Hellertown.

Knowing my old man he found two old clunkers and sent them to Mr. Simmons to be saved. Judging by the fit and finish of the guns Mr. Simmons was a pretty awesome gun smith. The writing on the vented rib is literally tiny! Its actually impressive how small it is!

Come on guys offer me some opinions... I really know nothing much about these. I haven't seen them in almost 20 years. Heres a little of the back story... My Father passed on May 3rd 2002. And I as a young man I had some run ins with the law and was on probation when he passed and for several years there after. So they ended up in my sisters possession. Which I am no longer having those sorts of problems obviously and I still legally am aloud to own fire arms, FYI. Anyway my sister called me up about a week ago and said her and her Husband are getting a divorce and I needed to get Dads guns out of their house as my BIL "highly Covets" them as she put it. And so here we are... Also I should add That I have no desire to sell these and I'm going to keep on loving them as he did...
