Yes to all the above. There are many entry's in the order books of guns being returned for credit by large sporting goods or hardware stores. Those were probably unfired. There are entries where a new gun was ordered by an individual and he traded in another Parker for partial credit on a new gun. I don't think Parker ever sold used guns, they would return them to factory new condition and sell them as new for the regular price or slightly reduced price of a new gun.
