There were a lot of guns upgraded in the 50s,60s,and 70s because of the shortage of high grade guns.Back then if you showed up at a pigeon shoot or gun show with an A1,you would draw a crowd.We forget now that in the pre internet days Parkers were considered very rare and scarce and there was no way to authenticate a gun.Many upgrades got sold as original guns.

Why is everyone calling it an A-1? The Peerless word on the rib has obviously been added. I would call it a DH upgraded to look something similar to a A-1. JMHO
