assume that in the right hands this gun could be restored but it will cost some $$. I agree with those who say don't junk or part it out. junking a Parker is like loosing a bit of the Country's heritage. And we already live in a throw away society. enough. save it, protect it and preserve it.

What do you think that engraving was, a grouse?

Well this one is in a bit rougher shape than I had hoped it would have been when this thread was started. But, not in any way too far gone if you have the will to put it back together. The gun appears to be a grade 2 with some very nice fine engraving. Yes, the gun is quite a bit off face and would need to be corrected if it were ever to be fired.
You should check out the barrel wall thickness also if eventual firing is the plan.

Just a few things that I see... your lower trigger plate is broken in half with the back half missing. And your front trigger is bent back a lot. Yout upper tang screw is not pictured. Is it missing?

If you need parts for this gun (like any of the ones mentioned above), please contact me. I do have most of them and then some.

From the start I have considered this a wallhanger at my capabilities with it.

yes, I put it in the description that it is missing the left hammer and the screw. I have looked locally to find one without any success. Plenty of hammers but nothing that matched.

I also have both the firing pins but they are the offset ones and the firing side has broken from both but the springs appear to be good.
