Very nice, I’m sure it will turn out great.

Brian, Parker Bros would automatically upgrade any gun that came into the shop for any reason with the new bolt and replaceable wear plate (wedge) at no charge and rarely a mention of it in the books.

This gun is fitted with the 1905 style wear plate. So it was back at the factory between 1905 and 1910. Which is after the second return mentioned in the letter.

Brian did a great job on this old gal. Some before and afters and a few close ups of the receiver. Next stop off to get the stock bent back to how it left the factory……I hope!

It’s a great gun.

Very nice, I’m partial to grade 5’s. I especially love the engraving pattern on this one with the positioning of the dogs.

Yes, I do hope that the bending goes well. We are hoping that since it was bent previously that it will go well again. I will likely freshen up the wrist checkering after that. The objective up until now has been to just carefully clean and see how much it came back.

Another beautiful B Grade Parker.

Really great job Brian, a light touch perfect! Here is a BH only 149 serial numbers apart and the engraving looks identical to my eye.
Good luck bending the stock, fingers crossed.
