We could write a book on the subject but unfortunately, experience is the best teacher.
Each and every used gun for sale is different in some little way from the others. Sometimes ‘experience’ can’t simply be imparted to others.
I have often been asked for my opinion about a particular gun and I am always more than happy to do so.
Luckily for me my two “misteke” guns were very early in my association with collecting Parkers… and they are both waaay back in the rear of my safe where nobody can see them.
