Hi Unregistered,
On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...
So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.
Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...
I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..
John D.

Phil:
I would follow the advice you have received from few members in this thread to post photos, as many very high condition Parkers, even late ones that are "only" 73 years old have had a complete restoration yet are sold as 98%. The lack of late Remington records for extras such as a straight stock or SS trigger also complicates the matter.
However, many of our members (not myself) have a depth of experience with Parkers that allows them to make a very good guess if the gun has been restored, and they can often identify who did the work by the case colors.
Than aside, if you really like the gun, it shoots well, and you and plan to keep it for some time, then the fact it may have been restored becomes less important.

PM sent.
Is the trigger a Parker or a Miller?
