Haven't purchased the gun yet, and realize that ultimately it wouldn't fetch the same amount of money as an unmolested DHE. But it also doesn't carry that price tag either. Plus, I'd like a functional ejector Parker to take out in the field and not have to be as concerned about damage. Only thing that concerns me is one of the ejectors is missing, so that may be the decision point, depending on availability of a replacement. It's a 2 frame 12 with fluid steel barrels so I'm sure there are some orphans out there for replacement. If I pick it up, I'll get the letter to see the original configuration.
It might be worth it to take a chance as it's under 1k. Like I said I'm a sucker for a project...
