I just received the gun and want to write an article about it if there hasn't been one written previously. So my research of it needs to be completed before posting too many photos and spoiling the article. Here is one more photo of the grip cap for anyone interested.

Maybe I don't get out too much, but that's the first signed Parker I have seen.
Nice.....

Nice.....

It was the policy of Parker Brothers that guns were not to be signed by the engravers, however a few of their very best engravers sometimes were able to sneak one through.
