In regard to barrel length; I might be suspicious of the odd length of 27", the fact that the guns shows in the Parker serialization as 30". I suppose the muzzle end of the top rib could be TIG welded and then dressed down to show the band. The convergence of the barrels could be changed, the ribs could be relayed, and keels soldered in. If the gun were a $30,000 AAH it seems reasonable someone would have spent all that money to fake it. But on a $1200 GH it doesn't seem to make sense.
Is there a Parker letter?
Best,
Mike
