Recently purchased my first Parker which was a CHE 12 Gauge, didn't know too much about it and got some good input from Members. I am fortunate in that I live just two hours from the shop of Larry DelGrego so I took a ride today to his shop. I wanted some adjustments to my new purchase so the gun went for a ride with me. I showed the gun to Larry with high hopes of good news and that is what I received. I was told that my gun which sports 30" barrels on a 1 1/2 frame with SST; Beavertail Forend; Vent Rib and Skeletonized Buttplate is as it came from the factory. DelGrego did restoration work on the gun sometime in the past. Besides the small work he is doing on the gun he is also doing an appraisal letter on it. Looking forward to getting it back and perhaps posting that letter.
