I do think that sometimes there are different collecting philosophies at play that may seem to be conflicting -- not just about originality.

It seems to me that Tom is very fortunate to be in a position to purchase a gun like this, and that he has some soul searching to do to be able to decide exactly what his priorities are in getting a high grade Parker. It's a wonderful dilemma.

Tom, let us see what you decide upon!

I agree Garry.....Additionally, I would love to see what the steel barrels look like mounted on this gun!
