Personally don't see how anyone could shell out 5K plus for an old Parker, without having it expertly appraised first.... I readily admit to not knowing an awful lot about them, it's part of why I signed up here. But, if I am spending that kind of money to buy a gun off the internet... I wan't to know EXACTLY what it is.
I don't mind taking a chance on a sub $1500 gun, but that's about it. I've done that a few times, and ended up with some nice guns, and some others that were not so nice. But at the sub $1500 price, you can usually sell them again and not get burned too bad.
I have to say, I find these threads like this very informative. There is so much to learn.
