Default A grade 3 that is a bit unusual!

Here is a hammer gun grade 3, that has some unusual features that are not found on normal grade 3's, this gun has Bernard barrels, I understand that only 2 grade 3 guns were made with Bernard barrels, also the gun has the gold oval on the pistol grip, this you would normally find on grade 5 or 6 guns. The gun is on a 1 frame,with SSBP, I have not sent for a letter on the gun, at present the barrels are 28" and IC/IC, I believe that two inches have been cut from the barrels , still a nice grouse gun, for close work, gun is a bit different thats why I bought it, Gary

You have some very nice Parkers , this lifter is a head turner , who did the work on the gun ?, or is it original? , also case colours are the very best.
You have a great eye for hammer guns.

I cannot stop looking at this gun, absolutely gorgeous. As a matter of curiosity, what is the turn-around time on a restoration of this quality?

Gary six months to a year at best, sometimes longer but it is worth the wait in my humble opinion, Gary
