Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Brian, did the original butt plate have a serial number on the inside? Remarkable work!

No. The butt was messed with so much that the buttplate was thinned and also reduced in height greatly. So a lot of the toe, where the serial number usually is, was removed. But the wood surface under the butt was unaltered and the screws were original and matched the plate. And the heads were engraved the same as the screws on the action. What survived of the plate was pretty rusty and pitted. The only remnants of engraving on the plate was At the spur and heel, it was faint and was definitely Parker factory engraving.
