Absent a PGCA letter, attempting to validate or authenticate special features of an after-purchase Parker are frustrating and speculative. A much better approach would be to state up front how the gun was marketed or advertised (e.g., Parker Skeet Gun), substantiation of special features (checkered butt, non-auto safety, etc.), which would give those asked much more of a basis for proclaiming it "righteous" relative to your questions. Dean, Reggie and Jeff have given you important signposts along the roadmap to deciding what this gun is or is not; a PGCA letter before the fact would have answered most if not all of your questions.
