as for the checkering on the gun in question, some of you brought up an interesting scenario:
i too have seen a few 0 grade hammer guns, sans checkering...which begs the question:
could the checkering on this gun have been done after factory by a novice checker, as practice?
from what i can see from the limited pictures, the pattern just does not look like parker factory work...frankly, it looks kinda like the checkering one sees on some crescent firearms guns?
i do hope i am incorrect in my suspicions regarding the origin of the checkering on this otherwise remarkably high condition parker field grade hammer gun, as it may significantly reduce it's collector value.
it would be helpful if the seller would provide direct images of the checkering on the wrist and forend, and perhaps a direct reference to a picture in "The Parker Story" or other reference work, so the controversy could be resolved in his favor.
