Thanks for the suggestions. Other than photos on this site and elsewhere on the internet I have only handled a couple Trojans and V grade guns in person. They just don't turn up very often in any of the shops or stores here. After closely inspecting the engraving on this D grade it really made me want it even more for my first Parker. The search will need to continue.

The local gun store is probably the least productive place to look for good Parkers. Gun shows, big double gun shoots, the internet, fellow collectors are much better sources. The broken stock would be the deal breaker on the D grade you describe, even before learning of a barrel problem.

I agree with the above gentlemen.Don,t let "Parker Fever"force you into a bad decision. There are still many decent gun's out there. Remember when you are buying a double you are buying the barrels. It's kinda like women....Half the fun is in the "Chase"..
