(no offense intended Eric )

No offense taken but as I said I have three or four guns in that serial number range and "none" look like the colors in the Julia catalog maybe there was a mixup and the wrong pictures of the receiver of another gun got posted there by mistake as they laided out the catalog with all the thousands of pics they deal with that could happen. I don't know the only thing I do know is those two shots of a Parker receiver are not original colors. Let's hope the pics did get mixed up.......
