John,
Thank you for your post. It is always nice to hear about High grade Parkers. At the time of manufacture, the AH grade would have been the second best offered by Parker.
It is always interesting to hear about or see very high grade guns that are in very bad shape because usually they were well cared for by the owners that paid so much for them.
You should really post pictures of your AH grade if you can. We would all love to see them. Maybe the gun is not in as bad of shape as you make it out to be.
Just a note about what you have shared...
If you can close a paper in the breech and it will not pull out or support the weight of the gun, then that is actually pretty good.
