The colors on the frame are trademark Delgrego....perhaps they have records of all the work they did on this gun.

Not quite right as in wrong/shoddy/improper or not quite right as in not original?

The keels are correct: tha barrel tubes touch. But the rib matting and the termination line are a bit suspicious.... but if the book shows 26" then what's to argue about?
As far as the cyannide colors... Remington could have done that in '51.

Dont bother contacting delgrego about the gun, they claim to only keep records by customer name, so you wont get far not knowing that.

The matting looking like it was polished away some and the line is WAY to heavy to be original.

Looks like it will be a lively little grouse killer.

Thank you all for the warm welcome, compliments and education. I appreciate your patience and generosity with my many queries. Here's my latest.


Three questions about markings on the water table (barrel flats).

1.Can anyone shed light on why the barrel flats bear the marks of both Kings?

2. What possible explanation is there for the barrel flats missing a mark indicating the type of barrel steel.

3. What do the "+" markings nearer the chamber opening indicate?

Not every Parker is original. I once had a DelGrego refurbished gun that was a joy to carry and a long range killer of ring necks. As every one on here will probably tell you, welcome to the club and the fever of it all, it is a great past time and the advice you get on this forum will be both candid and invaluable as you look for your next Parker and as they say, "One is never enough!" and an 0 frame 16 is a great gun to carry and enjoy. Congrats on your first!
