I saw that and its not a problem for me. One barrel set appears to have been cut also, which is not a problem as long as the other set is intact and was Parker provided and numbered to the gun. Thanks for your input. I guess I will call Steve for more detail. I was hoping someone would know this gun and could provide some input.

Arent they all in “excellent original conditon”? It is a nice gun. Great engraving. But... pretty much no case color and no trigger guard blue. But perfect checkering and appearingly perfect barrel finish. Those two combinations do not really add up. Looks to me like at least a few major things have been done. Not good if you really want an original gun.

Thanks for your input Brian. It's the engraving that has me interested. It's a great early example of Parker engraving. But I don't want a heavily re-worked gun either. Before I pull the trigger, I'll stop by Steve Barnett's and look the gun over in person. Then I can be sure one way or the other.

Does Steve have a letter? I know I will have to duck after asking this question, but I'm willing to take the pressure for my friend, Tom.

I know the gun very well, have examined it and I’ve even shot it at Hausmann’s several years ago.
To the best of my knowledge, it is the only known example of a Parker with original wedge engraving on Damascus barrels. There’s nothing to hide about this gun - it is everything you see, no issues or faults. .

Maybe it's just me, But I do not believe the engraved wedges on the damascus barrels are original.

It’s just you Edgar... they are most definitely original.
