First time I've ever seen that even mentioned in a letter. I have three such guns that went back for various services and all three had the replacable wear plate replaced with nary a word of it having been done. I had always believed it was done to all pre-1910 guns that went back for service simply as a matter of course and that particular free service not even recorded.
Chuck, what's your take on this? .

Chuck will support what i am saying... As , i believe, he is who told me what a comb bolt was when i first saw it in a letter for other guns.
It was a standard service upgrade, maybe it was just noted in some repair entries and others not.

A parker below AA grade with factory gold inlay is indeed x rare and possibly unique. the name of F.B.Potts # 717 and three stars is a mystery, any ideas?. very interesting gun.

Three star or not.....it's part of the gun's history but still not-so-great his name is stamped into the receiver.

Glad to see this old thread revived. I guess it remains another Parker unsolved mystery.

This gun is easily one of the more unique Parker's I have seen!

I was mostly reviving it because of the very good article on the shooting school in DGJ.
