It is a new gun to me. I purchased it over Christmas. It looks to be complete and largely unmolested. All serial numbers match. There is pretty (to me anyway) brown patina on the barrels. The receiver still has the a good amount of case color left. The stock was pinned. I've included the picture below. It looks to be a familiar pin for Parker stocks so I don't know if it is something the factory would do or someone more reputable.
From what I can see, the screws on the sides are all correct. The three on the bottom of the receiver are off a bit. The one in the tounge plate is correct. I do not recall the screws in the forend because I never thought to check this.
In reality, I've not shown this gun to anyone who knows a thing about Parkers including myself. I've shown it to my gunsmith an hour away to see if it was shootable and he said it was in fine condition even with a small ding in the barrel that runs with the barrel as opposed to across it.
Sorry, more info than you asked for probably.
