I believe the unstruck barrel weight is 5# 6 oz.. The frame size is indeed #3.
I think the 5 on the barrel flats is the equivalent of a B grade lifter but I am no expert on high grade Parkers. All in all a beautiful Parker. Best regards, Erick I stand corrected. SN 20424 is listed as a D6. Last edited by Erick Dorr; 10-30-2013 at 08:34 PM.. Reason: Correction |

A beautiful gun that has not been treated as well as it deserves. I have 2 gun being restored right now by Brad Bachelder but I have also used Doug Turnbull. I would advise talking to a couple of restorers and see what they advise. Kirk Merrington does good work as well. Don't be in a rush to make up your mind, once you restore it can never be undone. The gun is 130 years old, it will last a few months while you decide what to do. It is a very special gun.

The DD on the barrel flats indicates Finest Damascus and I believe the 5 indicates 5-Iron Crolle Damascus.

That is indeed a very beautiful gun! It has been stored incorrectly for some period of time, but is absolutely an honest gun. Just remarkably un-messed with.
This is one of those times that you just take a deep breath, and proceed slowly, and with caution. I'm not qualified to tell you what those steps are, but there are those here that are. You certainly made the right first step by coming here. |
