I’d love to see photos of your 138-year-old gun so we can compare conditions.

Nick,
It seems as though you have taken my questions as an attempt to demean your gun. I assure you that is not the case. Most of us in the PGCA have purchased our Parkers to use..collect..or refurbish, and with those goals in mind
my questions were meant to offer assistance rather than critisism.
Regards,
Austin
