Often they were sent to local dealers and shown in the dealers display. You should look into that.

I'm new to this type of sleuthing. Should I be looking via internet, elsewhere, or books like TPS? That TPS money could go toward another parker you know.

If you're going to be acquiring any more Parkers, then you need The Parker Story. Best money you'll ever spend. More like an investment. Much better than US bonds. John

I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have that gun spruced up from stem to stern. That stock is stunning. Bring that flame out with a nice refinish and recut the checkering and redo the bbls and it would be a real showpiece.

Just checked; they didn't last long. I'll take a look at the DGJ, I think they have it for sale.
Thanks for the heads up.

I believe DGJ still has blemished sets for sale for around $200.
