painted Parker
I bought a "painted Parker" in hope that it would be a diamond in the rough. It exceeded my greatest hope. It wasn't really a bad paint job as there were no runs in the paint job, but it had been painted black. Once I got the paint removed and the oil out of the stock, the wood turned out to be a very good piece of American walnut. There were some other interesting aspects of the gun that I will mention,as I intend to write an article and submit it to Parker Pages on what I have named the "Boathouse Gun". I will be shooting it in the hammergun challenge at the Southern in April.
