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.

I have a S&W M 1905 Target 1911 production. I believe it was refinished by S&W, serial number has a star stamped beside it, considered by most collectors to be a mark of factory refurbishment work. Other than the star no documentation of the re-work exist.

Bought it for about a third of what the same revolver would have sold for with the original finish in the same high condition. My opinion Re-finished even by the factory makes a difference not only how much a gun sells for how long it sits for sale too. This gun was on the market for some time before I bought it.

It's a nice shooting vintage target revolver fact that it's been refinished makes no difference to me at all, however did not pay factory original finish price for it either. Selling it may bring a little premium over a non factory re-blue, not much.
