Glad I helped you out Bill.

Finally got the barrels off, a little lube was all it needed. Now opens and closes smoth and tight. It is a 1.5 frame. Did a very quick cleaning, it was put away dirty 15 years ago, and now the bores look smooth and shiny. Barrel color is dark bronze all the way, with a couple of little scratches on the bottom, stock has a couple of very small places where the shellac (I am assuming it is shellac) is off. Will post pictures soon.

#1-1/2 frame. Lucky you Pam. Nice! They're a bit slimmer and quicker than a heavier #2 frame IMO. Of all my Parkers, the very best shooter for me is a straight gripped 26" VH12 with a #1-1/2 frame.
