Pachmayr was the better of the known Parker embellishers and was located by Los Angeles. This gun is Mr Pachmayr's concept of what an Invincible grade gun should be, but never was. The sideplates are false and it has plenty of gold, which some people like. I don't know how many of these were made, I recall hearing 30, but I could be wrong.

They should not be confused with a real Invincible, of which only three are known and are all in the NRA Museum.

I couldn't resist asking the seller how he could claim it's 100% original when he openly stated that Pachmayr did the engraving. Also, note the poor inletting of the wood to metal. All this and it's on a # 4 frame to boot!
