It looks like a total redo to me also. The receiver screws look polished and to not fit as snugly in their holes as originals. The small triangles? around the bbls at the breeches seem to be polished out enough for a reblue that they aren't original. The nose on the stock comb doesn't look right...I think. The polish on the receiver looks more "polished" than original. If you look very closely at most originals there are errant file marks and they just aren't polished like that. Some of the buttstock wood seems just a tad more proud of the lower tang metal than Parker usually did. And the colors just don't look right as Kevin says. It is a gorgeous redo however, nicer than original to some degree. Not many are that well done. Very very nice gun.
