Hey Bill,

Thank you for your comments. As I said I really did not know what I had but knew for a gun almost 100 years old it was in pretty good shape. I would also like to thank the other members of this forum for the great advice. Take care...Byron...

Gentlemen, This is a great looking original gun, without a doubt. My question is what to look for when you see a gun in this kind of shape. I can see the trigger guard to be a dead giveaway of originality on this gun, but looking at others what are key points to knowing you are not looking at an older, seasoned restoration? I would like to hear some things to look for. Bill gave a thumbs up from pictures, he obviously saw something. Great gun Byron.

Good catch, John T. A rusty and brown looking trigger guard on a high condition Parker is a clue that the gun is not a refinish. Original trigger guards tarnish quickly in original guns, but refinished guards usually look fresh and shiny. We don't refinish brown looking guards on high condition original Parkers.

Thank you John, I have sent for a "Parker Letter" to learn more about the gun. Byron...

That is gorgeous! Looks just like the Trojan I saw in Denver a few weeks ago

Thank you richard...byron...

I managed to get out and shoot the gun several weeks ago at a NSCA shoot, and NO DOUBLEING... Mr. Delgrego did a marvelous job on the triggers. I am very pleased with the work he did, and with this forum for sending me to Mr. Delgrego...

Thanks again,

Byron...
