If not by now, i dont think that we will see them.
Of the eatly guns that i have seen, it is not out of the ordinary for them to not have serial numbers on the trigger guards.
When Lonnie mentioned 46, i think we were all thinking unstruck weight. But an eatly gun like this would not have those typical markings as on later guns.
To get to Lonnies original question, the conditon of the gun is not known since we dont have photos, but in nearly any situation, the cost of “restoration” is going to exceed the value of the gun. These early guns are of genuine interest to Parker folks and are good pieces for those who want to add an early example to their collection. Many of them are more considdered to be “relics” more for looking at and studying vs shooting on a regular basis.
