The Philly Arms marked guns are a Pre-Sterlingworth/AH Fox gun. The similarities to a Parker do not stop at the hinge pin. The forend iron and forend latch look like they came right out of Parker Parts bins. The rib matting is nearly identical to a Parker and the roll stamped makers mark even has the arrows at each end just like a Parker. Frame sculpting was similar and so was checkering.
$450 is a great price on that gun if it is not a complete wreck. If you dont buy it, pass on his info and I would. I have been looking for one for a little while. They are neat guns that do not pop up very often.
