Gary, do you have the barrels that have Mr. Parry's name engraved? Can you post a picture of the unengraved trigger guard. Thomas H. Parry was a fierce competitor in the midwest at the time. The gun papers were full of references to his shooting. Your receiver looks like the work of Larry Del Grego and Son. Your beavertail forend looks like it may be from the Parker factory or maybe Del Grego put on the beavertail when they did the refinish. Del Grego could also have installed the safety. Whatever, it is an interesting gun with important competition provenance. If you know the name of the previous owner, Babe Del Grego can look up the job they did on it. They do not keep records by serial number.
