AH Upgrade?

[Big Friend Ten (BFT)]

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your evaluations.

Dean,

The barrels have the purple hue of nickel steel barrels so we know they are not Parker originals.

Bill,

I ordered a letter on my AH and the Research Committee was kind enough to inform me that both references listed the gun as a Grade 2. I was asked if I still wanted a letter and I elected to shift the $40 fee to letter another gun.

So, the LC Smith association discusses "Lunch Box Specials" that workers built and often upgraded on their own. Has anyone seen any Parkers like that?
Or, with the Parker engraving and cyanide case hardening could this be a DelGrego upgrade?
