As I mentioned in my new guy post, this is both my first Parker and my first SxS in general, for purposes of a class I'm taking beginning on Monday.

The gun is entirely matching aside from the poorly-replaced triggerguard, but is pretty much completely devoid of finish.







Barrels appear to be in pretty good shape. Bores are fairly clean, and there aren't any significant dings or bulges or anything.





Same story for the forearm, which features the only remaining shred of color case hardening on the whole gun. Checkering and everything is worn, but the forearm is structurally sound.







And here's where things start getting ugly. Triggerguard is obviously a poorly done replacement job.



Also missing the safety.







So, I'm anticipating quite the restoration project on my hands, but that's exactly why I have it anyway. Any input or suggestions are certainly appreciated!
