Cameron: Dean is on the money. Except for the buttstock your gun checks out in the "BOOK". You have an extremely rare & valuable Parker, More so than the one at Cabela's. Join PGCA & order your letter for $40.00 today. You may well be surprised by what you find.

Now to get down to "brass tacks", on the underside of the barrel lug should be 12 indicating the gauge and closer to the rear of the lug will be the frame size. Your gun should have either the 1 1/2 frame or the 1/2 frame . . . how is yours marked??

Hmmmm the matting just looks odd, must be the cloudy pics.....

Destry, I've seen both types of matting on vent ribs - both the wavy-line matting we're all accustomed to seeing as well as the "matte finish" as shown on this one.

Cameron, you say your gun has extractors rather than ejectors but in the second picture showing the breech end of the barrels there is definitely a screw head visible on the doll's head to secure the retainer plate for ejectors . . . and the book says it was produced with ejectors, so . . . ?

Is there a screw at the north end of your forend? Maybe you could picture that area for us. Is the rib actually just finished with a matted surface or does it have a pattern of swirls machined or pressed into it? The trigger guard seems to be modified for the pistol grip. Is the serial number still engraved into the trigger guard?

Cameron is probably too busy answering PMs offering to buy his gun to reply to our questions :rolleyes:

Oh, well. So what else is new?

Cameron,

Are you related to Delbert Kulbeth?

Nice gun Cameron! Hope you can get the info you need.
