With this gun, that would require replacing the whole trigger plate. And I agree with your assessment dean on the forend. It is completely original to the gun. Or at least is factory work.

Depends on the period. Some were bulky like this one while others had more eye appealing smooth lines.

Why is a good question. Senator Warner was Elizabeth Taylor’s 6th Husband, he liked flash.

The gun likely started life with original Parker Bros. SST, see the R and L on the trigger plate --
198678 03.jpg and was later converted to a Miller hence the R seen on the top tang. 198678 02.jpg The gun is from about 1922 vintage originally, five years before Senator John was born. The beavertail is the shape shown in my repro April 1923 and January 1927 catalogs. The vent rib isn't yet included in the 1923 catalog, but is in the 1927 catalog. |

I need to stop looking at it on GI or I might end up with it. It is growing on me for some reason.

"No Parker date for it coming back to the factory"? What's that all about? I believe there is a suspicion that some very early vent rib (factory) guns were made on frames that were not flat. Jake is a volume paraphernalia dealer who has an in with high end Virginia estates, but he is not a Parker expert. Interesting gun but the Warner connection adds nothing to its value, in my opinion. Jake has had the gun for some time.
