Pre-PGCA days, I would have said, wow it's a Parker so its gotta be good. Right now, it is still wow for a good looking gun but now I know about barrel wall thickness issues, I can say wow, measure the walls and say no. Guns that have been refinished with beautiful shiny bores often times have been honed and sometimes they are thinner than what is considered by many here to be too thin. Most seem happy with at least .025. If you got that, there could be some unhappy birds in your area.
Cheers,
Jack
