A different kind of Parker

It's maybe only my opinion, but based upon the condition, I don't think you paid too much. Mine also has most all the original paint, but not as bright as yours. My hopper scoop is pin holed, with maybe 50% paint. I think I paid $800.

Thank you, I appreciate this. I had no real sense of worth other than most others out there are missing the scoop, have been repainted, or are much more dull, but I based it on visual appeal, it is a Parker, I’m familiar with Meriden, Connecticut, and, someday, I hope to have a bar set up sort of like an old general store, and I have already an old brass cash register (that was VERY cheap at auction), a trade stimulator, a few other assorted objects, and a few shotguns “for sale”.
