BTW, congratulations on getting a fine gun...and keeping your Boss content. Those two things are sometimes mutually exclusive.

Thank you Gary, Sorry for replying out of order here was away on the weekend and catching up. Always possible it was altered but except for LOP everything is per the Parker letter and everything appears original to gun with very little in way of 'messing about' indicated (other than metal clean up). Screws are all timed and fit of wood to metal in all areas appears unaltered. I don't have any more history at the moment but plan to reach out to a recent owner and see if he might have more information. Thank you again for input and fully concur scoring a Parker and having Boss approve is a bonus.
