I was looking on the internet to learn about the Parker Invincibles. There seems to be differing opinions about these 3 guns. At least to me there seems to be very few pictures of the 3 guns. On the NRA site there are pictures of one gun 230329. But they have a shot with all 3 guns and two look nearly identical, different stocks and triggers are different. The other doesn't look at all like an Invincible at all.
Here is what the internet says distinguishes the Invincibles form other Parker guns.
Contains unique frame features, including side clips on the bolsters and a rebated frame where the stock fits, designed to prevent stock splitting. It also lacks the characteristic recessed hinge pin of other Parker models.
Has more lavish engraving and elaborate scenes, including gold bird inlays on the sides and bottom of the frame. The checkering and engraving patterns are executed with superlative detail.
I am not an expert that is why I am asking this. The bottom gun has a recessed hinge pin, no gold and the other things listed I really don't know what they are.
The bottom gun in the NRA picture to me does not look like an Invincible it looks like an A1 Special and not that great of an A1 Special.
Any ideas of what is really an Invicible and why is the lower gun one?
