Whereas this gun is one of the first with the radiused water table / breech face, it can easily be argued that the gun may have originally had a frame with the 87 degree, or 93 degree (depending on which side you’re measuring from) angle at that juncture, and it was returned because it had cracked, it seems by charging only $30 Parker showed good faith and was willing to accept responsibility, or at least some of it (pro-rated?)
