Thanks! Given the price-for-value ratio, we quietly returned the gun to the seller, and will wait around for something else (they said they didn't realize it had been rebarreled. Not Parker people - but then neither were we until we found this site!)
Meantime, we picked up a 1920 VH with (almost) all its original parts for a much more reasonable price - it is 'well used' but handsome, the only alteration is that somebody put a recoil pad on it somewhere along the line. I'll probably appreciate it while shooting it - although I always admired the dog-and-pheasant on the butt of Dad's Parker.
