I started watching this auction as soon as it came online. 14 day auction that started slowly but picked up some nice late action. I am new to Parkers, but I thought this gun looked like a really nice piece. I wonder who picked it up. My thought was that it was either restored, OR that the original owner might have protected the gun due to its nice round serial number #143000. I was hoping to bid on it, but forgot and wouldn't have approached the selling price anyway.
Anyway, now that this auction is complete, is it okay to ask opinions on the gun? Original or refinished? I have no skill at identifying the nuances of Parker stocks and thought this might be a good one from which to learn a few things.
