So I finally have the Parker in my possession. Overall looks like it's in pretty solid condition as I expected. A couple of small spots of very light rust developing on the underside of the barrel. The rest of the metal looks to be in good condition, but guessing that a lot of the original blue and case hardening (is that what it is?) has been worn off. I will post some pictures soon of the current condition soon.
Need to find a good gunsmith in the Madison area. Not many left in the area and not sure which one I want to deal with and trust my growing collection of older firearms to.
