Was not trying to be sarcastic. I know I have come across "interesting" Parkers at gun shows over the years. More, years ago, then now. One particular example was where a V grade was being represented as a D grade after some obvious "updating" had taken place. When another Parker collector questioned him about the irregularties in the engraving the owner proceeded to tell the story that during the period you are inquiring about Parker used women, secretly, to do the engraving. Meant no dis-respect, but stories regarding Parkers and their origin and circumstances have always been out there.
I do not have the Parker knowledge to make a judgement on your question.
