Looks to me like someone tried to alter/hide the Twist Steel mark. Darn, thats a heavy little gun at 7 lbs, my PH 20 with 28" Parker Steel barrels is heavy at 6 3/4 lbs. My PH 16 is a delightful 6 lbs 3 oz with its cut barrels.
I like the dimensions of the gun, however.

Why waste $2500.00 on a gun that the seller states, "Mostly Original", & no description of What's not original. Have the barrels been changed; no photos of serial numbers. Use your money wisely & purchase a good honest unmolested Parker in good condition.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of composite barrel Parkers were faked up with ground off barrel legends in the fifties and sixties by backwoods gunsmiths who thought customers would think they were fluid steel barrels. By the way, what is the serial number of this gun and does it show up at 25 1/2" in the serialization book? What "book" is the seller and the buyer referring to?

Bill it's not in the ser. book but it is in the PB records and those records show it as a 25 1/2" barreled gun.
