I have really enjoyed this thread. Thanks everyone for adding your views, this is what helps the group become better informed collectors and Parker enthusiasts.

The firing pin measurement is 1 1/16" and the frame measures 1 5/8" across the hinge pin that is why I referred to the gun as a 1 frame.
The chambers measure 0.810/0.811, chamber wall thickness is 0.125, after the cone it has a nice taper out to about 15" where it measures 0.035. The left wall thickness is 0.035 to 0.028 and the right 0.035 to 0.025. Did I tell everyone the bores are basically rust free. There is no choke in the gun.

I will bow to those that think it is a $135 grade but if you read what is out there , knowing there were only 2 grades of guns at this time, $135 and $200 I believe this to be higher than $135 with the other gun pictured in the Parker story with no breach ball work and much less engraving.

When you blow up locks by clicking on them how many problems do you see? I see 2 problems on the right and 2 on the left. 3 brakes/cracks and a broken sear......well I suppose I would be a little cracked if I was about 146 years old! I like the thought of that.....~146 years old and I hope to shoot this again in the next 18 months.

Rick, who did the spur work? I am ready to go on that....
