I would think a gun like that to be signed. Look all over it carefully. Maybe even have it taken apart for inspection.

No signatures any where that I can see. Interestingly it has a peerless barrel (matching) and is a 1 1/2 frame. Were peerless found on anything other than Grade 8?
So 1937 gun definitely a DHE 1 1/2 frame that has been upgraded including a peerless vent ribbed barrel that the PGCA letter states is the type that was factory original along with a single trigger and bbl selector. Possible upgrade by Pachmayr. every serial I could see is matching (I didn’t remove buttstock all the way but took the screw and enough pins out to take the plate off and look. Pristine on insides that I could see and all and matching numbers that were visible.
Who would you recommend look at this that could possibly help me solve the riddle? Or is this a mystery my progeny will still be trying to solve?
This is my first Parker but have 3 Elsie’s, 2 from 1915 with the Curtis latch balance of my break actions (box and side) are German and Austrian.
