Most hammer guns can be improved greatly in appearance with having the barrels done if nothing else.

Wouldn't a back action with laminated barrels be a bit more rare? I "think" the price of the gun new would have been $125, is that right? Most back actions I have seen came with decarbonized barrels. I know they were made with damsacus as well, and I would like to have one of those as a side note.

I have always liked the look/lines of the back action Parkers. There was a real nice original one at the last Amoskeag Auction, I think the serial # was in the 200 range, it had decarbonized barrels and I had a chance to briefly look it over. I don't think it sold, so I would agree that they might not be in as high demand as other Parkers.

I like them though, it's hard to explain...they just look nice to me.

Good luck with your gun Lonnie!
