Good job! Now you need to join PGCA and get a letter. That is a nice gun!

congrats, hope to hear/see more about it

Andrew, you got a bargain there for a very Parker. The gun is worth more as is than if some amateur gunsmith is allowed to practice on it. I witnessed a B grade hammer change hands in 1974 for $1325 that was a 90%+ gun. Later that year I watch Herschel Chadick walk to the table where the gun was on display and offer $3000 for it without picking it up. $3000 would get you a new Chevrolet in 1974. While your gun is in only fair condition, it appears to be unmolested and with 32" barrels would provide you with a large down payment for any car of your choice should you choose to sell it.
