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.

Nancy, your gun is heavily refinished in a non original way. The Damascus barrels are blued, which is not correct. The other metal parts have been colored by an unknown method resulting in a non original finish. You must give us barrel length and pictures of the rib at the muzzle so we can determine whether the barrels have been shortened or not. Your gun is not of interest to a Parker collector, unfortunately. The insert tubes are worth about $75. Let us know if you have had success in removing the tubes. Any attempt to bring your gun into a more original condition will just result in more expense and will still not be original. Don't invest more money.

Perhaps I'm seeing a shadow line from something but the barrels look as though they've been sleeved as well? It's very faint but the joints are in line with the "M" in Damascus.
Cheers
Marcus
