Just my thoughts on the subject . Russ

And i want to know if all the numbers match on the stamped/marked parts of the entire gun. If a dealer won't confirm that, as well as barrel length, chambers, chokes- etc- he's either too fat and lazy, is trading on his "rep", or has something to hide from a buyer with great knowledge of Parkers, as most all of the brethern of the PGCA have accumulated- sometimes at some expense, but as old Benny-Boy the Colonial "ladies man" once so wisely said- 'experience is a great teacher, but the tuition is indeed a *&^%$ to pay"-- No serial numbers, no "Benjamins" leave my money clip and find their way into the hands of the clowns who won't take the time to relay that basic info to a prospective buyer--
