Apparently, we left this thread to die without further pictures being posted which was promised by Mark. Mark never really opined about the matching of the bent trigger recesses and the less than perfect matching of the triggers to those recesses. Was it less than professional, in your opinion? It seems like anyone who could bend these tangs could make good work out of the trigger plate. I have had very well constucted crossover Parkers that were not built in the Parker factory. The British are very good at it and some Parkers were done there. This particular gun is not a Parker done conversion, in my opinion. None of the butt treatment, the grip size and geometry, nor the lack of numbering points to Parker Brothers participation. The BHE in The Parker Story is the only factory crossover gun I am personally aware of, even though there are others in the order books. The BHE is a neighbor of mine, I have inspected it in the past, and I have offered to buy it. Only personal inspection of a crossover gun can result in opinion about the skill of the builder.
