Eric,
1. The gun SN is in the right range
2. The iron and steel ribbons look different than either London Stub Twist or London Twist
3. The barrels look like others that are accepted as Parker made, including one that I own.
Yes, I use only Timberluxe now. I find it easy to use, penetrates existing finishes, and is water resistant, unlike French polish which clouds in heavy moisture or rain. The stain needs to be thinned.
I just got a message from Dean who thinks these are outsourced tubes. Maybe we need to do a little more research into these early barrels and try to trace back what Parker made. I do know that these Parker twist tubes look different than others.
