As DoubleO Frame previously noted, the cocking crank has case colors on it. I've never seen an original condition Parker with its cocking crank colored. Seems pretty obvious now that the gun was recolored and whoever did it did not bother to remove the cocking crank.
As for the gun being relisted, I have that question pending to the seller. Usually when that happens its because the buyer backed out with a story about how he just lost his job moments after hitting the bid button. Almost 20% of GB buyers are like that in my experience. There is definitely a segment of society that derives some form of a thrill from winning auctions with no intent or ability to follow through with the purchase.
