Hello William: All of the foregoing is on target. I would suggest joining the Parker Gun Collectors Association and investing in a letter ($40.00). If Mark has the card on file it will give you all the original specifications plus perhaps the original purchaser. Good luck with your Parker. Your analogy of comparing a VW to a Rolls doesn't hold true when it comes to Parkers. All Parkers are basically the same(perhaps excluding the Trojan). The value lies in the embellishments: the engraving, the wood, ejectors, etc. Welcome Aboard!
Best Regards, George
