Chuck, most people who are tuning in here are interested in the original configuration of their Parker. I don't understand the nitpicking either, but the "original configuration" or original patterning information is often asked for, so I try to share the information I know. When I buy a Parker, I couldn't give a darn how it is choked as long as it will shoot. I would like it to be somewhat original in the bores, but I don't insist on it, especially in the early guns. I request a PGCA letter in the hope that I will get some ownership provenance, but patterning information is often a bonus.
