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.

The checkering appears too new for the amount of wear on the rest of the gun.
I have a Parker with the same engraving on the guard bow, but that doesn't necessarily make yours original.
Swing the trigger guard tang out of the way and see if the serial number is stamped in the wood.

Garry, I have the same situation with a DHE 16 O frame from 1905. Every spec to the letter matches, chokes, weight , etc, except that the letter states pistol grip and it sports a wonderful little straight grip. T he long tang is correct, and the tang was removed showing the proper ser# stamped under the long tang in the wood. The fac. letter does state the stock was redressed in 1910, but I believe it came originally with the straight grip. everyone who has looked at it feels it is right as rain.
Nice gun BTW
