Thank you Gary for taking the time to reply, I see the teardrop bolsters now on your gun. I believe that was the benchmark to the next tier and beyond in Parker quality as I'm sure you know. Thank you as well for posting more pictures of the engravings on your gun. That clearly is a higher grade than mine and a gun of outstanding appeal. A Glahn engraved gun it appears? I recall now seeing other photo snippets of that gun within these forums and have admired its many attributes.
I see the hinge pin on that gun was at least engraved some where mine is not. I was wondering when Parker began the relief fit of the hinge pin along with more elaborate engraving there? The relief hinge pin then became a symbol of Parkers setting it apart from others is what I think I read? Just wondered when they made that transition.
also, I think I speak for many a forum follower that anytime you post pictures of your collection of early Glahn Lifters.... well they are truely amazing guns, a real pleasure to see.
Thank you for sharing.
