Mark & Bill - I also examined this gun on two separate occasions; once in March and the other at the Allentown Show. The younger assistant at the Allentown Show (not Kris Lee) eagerly kept fishing for responses to his comments like, "incredible shape for a gun that old, huh?" and "they only made a handful of those guns after Parker failed and Remington took over production, which makes it extremely rare, wouldn't you say?" I kept my mouth shut, having carried more than one verbal firefight to ugly conclusions in my younger years about the originality and authenticity of guns for sale. It continues to amaze me how some of the auction houses in-house "experts" still cannot tell if a gun is original or not.
BTW, Jent - what is the story about Jerry and the Underlifters in MD? I never heard it.
